Mark my word this bridge will cost tens of millions spanning a year of construction, watch it as it progress. Remember back when the now PM was minister for works, the Bios D’Orange bridge cost some 11.5M. a bridge that is less than a 100ft. He further make his voice so vocal that he claims it was a world class advance bridge. I wonder if he were to travel to Suriname and witness a bridge elevate from its normal position to have Cargo Ship pass under muchless to travel on the Demerara Harbour Bridge which floats on the river, (world longest floating bridge probably older than him) what will he term those bridges? SMFH awa for this Gov. Progress with the forking work and stop looking for publicity.
