With the supervisory firm for the New Demerara Harbour Bridge on site on the West Bank Demerara (WBD)  and the commencement order issued last week, work has officially begun by Chinese company, CRCCL on the highly anticipated crossing scheduled for completion in 2024.

“The site office has been completed, the supervisory firm has now been properly situated on site… the commencement order has been issued and the instructions and approvals of physical work have been given,” Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, told Stabroek News yesterday when asked for an update.
