Damaged Coldingen Bridge leads to traffic backup

The traffic buildup at Enmore public road, East Coast Demerara.

Many commuters along the East Coast Demerara corridor were left stranded yesterday morning as bus owners cancelled work because of the damaged bridge at Coldingen Railway Embankment.

This resulted in a huge traffic buildup on both the main road and railway embankment.

While a traffic advisory was issued on Sunday indicating emergency work was being done on the bridge resulting in sections of the railway embankment being closed it appears as if many were caught by surprise.
