Travel across the Corentyne River from Moleson Creek to South Drain will resume today.
This is according to Director/Secretary of the Canawaima Management Company, Guyanese Mr. Ronald Charles, who told the Chronicle via telephone yesterday that a bypass was successfully cut to allow for the flow of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

The service, presently being operated by the m.v. Sandaka after the regular ferry, the m.v. Canawaima, was taken into dry-dock, was temporarily disrupted Friday after one of the acrow panel bridges along the access thoroughfare leading to the Moleson Creek terminal, broke Thursday afternoon under the weight of a low-bed which was laden with equipment.

After the bridge broke, the low-bed with the equipment toppled into the canal underneath, burying some of the bridge components in the process.

Immediately, an advance team of workers from the Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation (DHBC) was mobilised and dispatched to the location for a first-hand assessment of the situation.

And early Friday another team with replacement components left the city to begin repair works.

General Manager of the DHBC, Mr. Rawlston Adams, had said in a telephone interview that his employees would be seeking to execute the repairs in the shortly possible time, being cognisant of the fact that any long disruption of the service at this juncture of the holiday season will greatly inconvenience the travelling public.

During the period, the m.v. Sandaka is in operation no 20 foot and 40 foot containers, and trucks with height and width in excess of three metres and 2.7 metres would be accommodated.
