The three-day closure of the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) is expected to be “less stressful” following a consultation yesterday with stakeholders, according to the Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill and water taxis will operate all day during the period.
The DHB is expected to be closed for three days from July 25 to 27 for the replacement of Span Nine which has been deteriorating over time and a raft of measures has been drawn up including an edict that there will be no increase in fares.
In order to make the process for commuters less stressful, the Minister of Public Works, the DHB, the Maritime Administration Department, the Guyana Police Force, the Coast Guard, and other relevant agencies yesterday hosted a public consultation on the closure.
