Berbice Bridge, Pontoon bridge in D' Edwards Village, Guyana.
The Berbice Bridge extends 1,571 meters across the Berbice River, featuring two traffic lanes and 39 pontoons that support vehicle passage.
The construction of the bridge concluded in December 2008, replacing an inefficient ferry system that required 90 minutes to cross the river.
The bridge transformed regional connectivity between Georgetown and New Amsterdam, substantially altering transportation patterns for local communities and businesses.
Vehicles crossing the bridge pay different toll rates, from 200 dollars for motorcycles to 32,000 dollars for articulated trucks.
The bridge includes a retraction system that creates a 70-meter wide opening for large vessels, completing the operation in 8 minutes.
