The majestic New Demerara River Crossing stands as a testament to Guyanese ingenuity and pride, with its four towering replicas of the Cacique Crown of Honour (CCH) standing watch over the landscape.
Each crown measures 5.2 metres in height and 5.4 metres in diameter, weighing nearly 12 tonnes – an impressive feat of engineering that will captivate all who lay eyes on it.
As night falls, the crowns will shine brightly, casting a golden glow across the horizon and symbolizing achievement, resilience, and national pride for generations to come.
The US$260 million cable-stayed bridge has been rigorously tested to ensure its strength, safety, and durability, and is designed to last a century. It represents a bold step forward in connectivity, replacing the ageing floating structure and ushering in safer, faster, and more efficient travel for thousands of daily commuters.
Despite delays and challenges, the bridge now stands ready, a towering symbol of the country’s growth and development. The nation will come together on Sunday to celebrate its official commissioning, led by His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, in a vibrant celebration that promises to be an unforgettable experience.
