The Alliance For Change (AFC) yesterday raised “grave concerns” over the government’s plan for a high span fixed bridge over the Berbice River.
President Irfaan Ali told Stabroek News on Sunday that plans are on stream for the four-lane bridge to match future development plans not just for Berbice but the country.
“Of course it will be a four-lane bridge …one of the things that is important in the building of these new transformative infrastructural projects such as the bridges in Wismar, the Berbice Bridge the Demerara Bridge… is us looking at ways in which they will add to the competiveness of the business environment and efficiency in the country,” the President told Stabroek News as he cited the long-term view.
