The Success Bridge on the Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara is to be closed tomorrow for repair works.
A release from the Ministry of Public Works said that the closure will occur on Saturday, June 24, 2023, from 9 am to 1 pm, to facilitate rehabilitation of the collapsed section of the bridge.
After being notified of the occurrence today, a team from the Ministry’s Special Projects Unit was immediately dispatched to conduct an assessment. It was then determined that rehabilitation of the bridge, in collaboration with the Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation will be done tomorrow.
In the meantime, drivers of heavy-duty and laden trucks are reminded that they are not allowed on the Railway Embankment until road works have been completed.
The Ministry wishes citizens to know that a permanent solution for Acrow Panel Bridges (like the Success Bridge) along the ECD Highway, will be implemented during Phase II of the East Coast Road Project, which will include an extension of the Railway Embankment Road into four lanes from Sheriff Street to Enmore and construction of a four-lane road to Orange Nassau, Mahaica.
