Demerara Harbour Bridge, Steel floating bridge across Demerara River near Georgetown, Guyana
The Demerara Harbour Bridge extends 1,851 meters across the Demerara River, connecting Georgetown with regions to the west through two traffic lanes.
British engineering expertise contributed to the construction of the Demerara Harbour Bridge, which opened on July 2, 1978, establishing a vital transport connection.
The bridge represents a physical link between different Guyanese communities, enabling daily interactions between residents from both sides of the Demerara River.
Vehicles traveling from west to east cross the bridge without paying a toll, while those moving in the opposite direction must pay a fee.
The structure includes 61 spans supported by pontoons that adjust to water level changes, allowing both vehicle traffic and boat passage through retractable sections.
