At the end of the second day of the three-day Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) span replacement project, the Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, has insisted that work will not go beyond midnight tonight as scheduled.
The bridge closed from 23.58 hours on Monday, July 24, and is expected to reopen at midnight today.
Speaking to the media on day two of the closure, Edghill was adamant that the bridge works will not extend beyond Thursday midnight, as promised.
“We are not going to go beyond the time requested. We said we will be finished by Thursday night at midnight and the chances are that we will open before midnight on Thursday. We are not going beyond midnight Thursday”, he said.
