Second main tower ‘pile cap’ completed for new Demerara River Bridge

AS the government continues to make remarkable strides towards enhancing Guyana’s infrastructure, the second main tower “pile cap” of the US$260 million Demerara River Bridge has been successfully completed.
This “breakthrough achievement” was announced by China Railway Construction Corporation in a post on ‘X,’ formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.
“Breakthrough Achievement: the second main tower ‘pile cap’ of the New Demerara River Bridge is completed!

“As Guyana’s largest transportation infrastructure [sic] project, the new bridge will significantly reduce travel time and increase vessel traffic once completed,” the Construction Corporation said in its post.
This project, the largest transportation infrastructural endeavour in Guyana, is poised to transform travel and vessel traffic in the region.
The ambitious project, valued at US$260 million, is being brought to life by a dedicated workforce of 650 individuals, including 120 Guyanese and 85 Venezuelan migrants.
These workers are tirelessly striving to complete the 2.8-kilometre-long bridge in record time.
