…as more than 4,300 vessels transit river crossing since opening

The Public Works Ministry has announced that the installation of the collision protection system at the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge was completed by the CRCCI-CRCCCL-CRBG Joint Venture.

According to the ministry, the collision protection system has been installed around the main tower pile caps within the Demerara River. The system is designed to safeguard the bridge’s critical substructure from accidental vessel impacts by absorbing and reducing collision forces before they reach the main tower pile caps and other supporting components.
