23rd March, 2014

PETER’S HALL - Two pivots and A-frame at spans 59 and 60 on the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) were replaced over the weekend.

According to its General Manager, Rawlston Adams, preparatory works to execute this operation began three months ago.

He stated that the first exercise was done on the western end of the structure when the bridge collapsed in July 2012. And, in September 2013, the second operation was done on the eastern end. This final replacement exercise will be carried out on the western spans.

Fabrication of the components was done by Courtney Benn Construction Services Limited.
