–but it’s getting there

THE deteriorated part of the bridge at Bagotville, West Bank Demerara, has been completely removed at last, as contractors continue to work feverishly to construct a new bridge.

GAICO Construction Inc. was awarded a $97M contract to build a new bridge in the community after the main access bridge in the area started to sink.
The support beams of the bridge were damaged due to erosion and heavy rains, heavy-duty vehicles also helped add to the deterioration.
In the interim, a temporary bridge was constructed nearby so that there can be a smooth flow of traffic.
