TRAFFIC began flowing again late Monday afternoon on the Liliendaal/Pattensen Bridge following a weeklong closure to carry out extensive works to fortify the structure.

The works, which began last Tuesday, saw the closing off of the Railway Embankment Road, between Conversation Tree to the west, and the University of Guyana Road to the east.
According to a release from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, the bridge was officially reopened at around 17:00 h.
Repairs to the bridge’s structure were executed by the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB), while the surfacing was done by the Ministry’s Force Account Unit (FAU).
The entire project cost an estimated G$12M.
