Guyana’s New Harbour Bridge: A Godsend for Transportation Challenges

Dear Editor,
With the recent completion of the new four-lane harbour bridge in Guyana, it is time to reflect on the importance of this new infrastructure and the positive impact it will have on the country’s transportation challenges.
The old Demerara Harbour Bridge, which was built many years ago, has been a two-lane bridge that has become increasingly dilapidated with time and the rising vehicle population in Guyana. The bridge was not designed to handle the traffic volume it is currently experiencing, resulting in long hours of traffic congestion daily.
The new four-lane harbour bridge, on the other hand, is a welcome addition to Guyana’s transportation infrastructure. With twice the number of lanes as its predecessor, it will not only be able to handle the current volume of traffic but also provide room for future growth. The new bridge will significantly reduce congestion and commute times, making it a boon for both the economy and the quality of life of Guyanese citizens.
It is commendable that President Irfaan Ali recognised the need for this project and prioritised its completion. It is a testament to his commitment to improving the lives of Guyanese and his vision for a better future for the country.
Thanks to President Ali’s Government, Guyanese now have a modern bridge for many years to come as the number of vehicles in the country increases.

Yours sincerely,
Philip Inshanally
