The President made the announcement as he commissioned the new Schoonord to Crane four-lane Highway in Region Three.

The new Demerara River Crossing should be completed by 2025; while the new Mackenzie/ Wismar Bridge is slated for completion in 2026.

It was only recently announced that the government is building a new Berbice Bridge. And in an invited comment, President Ali, earlier this week, said the new Berbice Bridge will be a modern, high-span structure like the Demerara Bridge.
