The Georgetown – Vreed en Hoop Speedboat Service commenced its operations earlier than usual following the accident at the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
Speedboat operators started their day at around 05:10h this morning after hundreds of affected commuters began flocking the gates of the Vreed en Hoop Stelling.
The Demerara Harbour Bridge is currently down after a tug and barge crashed into it causing major damages. This comes on what is considered the busiest day of the year, the first day of the new school year.
The DHBC engineers are currently working to fix the bridge but according to sources that may take approximately 24 hours before the structure is fully operational.
