The new Demerara River Bridge is nearing completion, with the final concrete slab set for installation on August 25, linking East and West Demerara. Built to last 100 years, the bridge will offer toll-free, 24-hour access and accommodate speeds up to 80 km/h. Serving over 50,000 commuters daily, it is expected to save $3.5 billion annually through reduced travel time and improved efficiency. This transformative project highlights engineering excellence, cultural pride, and the nation’s commitment to modern infrastructure.
