Construction work in the Demerara River for the new harbour bridge has commenced and the contractor will soon begin developing a reserve work area, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, yesterday said.
“As MARAD [Maritime Administration Department] has explained, construction work has begun. They have to make what you call a reserve work area first and then pile driving will commence,” Edghill told Stabroek News.
He was referring to a notice from MARAD which informed mariners that the construction of the bridge had begun and explained the precautions that needed to be taken when in the vicinity identified.
