Canje River Bridge

 Does anybody remember the Canje River Bridge of the late 1950s and the early 1960s? I am thinking; it was a bridge which was lifted up; in similar fashion a wooden kokers.   The bridge was later replaced by a swinging bridge. I recall the sound of motor-vehicles over wood – similar to the stellings at New Amsterdam and Rosignol. I walked over and rode bicycles over the bridge in the 1960s; prior to April 19, 1966.
What are your recollections?
Did you know there were ferry services at Canje, Abary, Mahaica, and Mahaicony rivers and at Vergenoegen-Philadelphia District   on the East Bank of Essequebo in the nineteenth century?
