Harbour Bridge to re-open to cars, minibuses Tuesday evening

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure has announced that the Demerara Harbour Bridge will be re-opened to cars, minibuses, motorcycles and small canters from 18:00hrs this evening.

On Monday, the bridge remained out of alignment between the high span and the retractor span, preventing also the passage of marine traffic after a barge along with a tug collided with the floating structure.

The Panamanian registered vessel has been impounded and the crew members have been detained for questioning by the Police and MARAD.
