The tug and barge which collided with the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) around 19:30 hrs on Sunday and caused damage to the tune of over $10 million, have been removed, Public Works Minister Juan Edghill told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.
He said that the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) had “grounded” the vessels.
While the collision did not affect the flow of either land or marine traffic, Edghill said that the cost of repairs for the bridge was in excess of $10 million.
