Plans afoot to relocate old, still serviceable Demerara Harbour Bridge

A FRESHWATER environment is the perfect habitat in which to relocate the current Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) when its replacement comes into operation, and according to Minister of Public Works, Mr Robeson Benn, the Kurupukari Crossing on the Upper Essequibo River is a likely candidate. “The elements of the bridge at the time when the new bridge comes into place, since it is a floating bridge, will be moved, preferably to a freshwater crossing location,” he told reporters Friday.

These rally old constructs always amaze me with just how tough they are, nothing like them are being made anymore. Everything now is just so breakable.
