Bridging the Demerara River and Berbice River

There is a one span bridge across the Demerara River linking McKenzie with Wismar. I am sure that bridge is older than the Demerara Harbour Bridge floating bridge from Peter's Hall, East Bank Demerara to Schoon Ord, West Bank Demerara. I have not heard that the McKenzie - Wismar Bridge is a great danger to the society. It’s beyond my simple mind why do they the technocrats insist in assembling floating bridges across the Demerara River and Berbice River? I am a proponent that referendums must be held on building projects (Constructions) which requires tax payers’financing. The projects plans must display prominently how many Guyanese will be employed on the project. As being proportionate to that of the voters list of the most recent national election or the most up to date list. The rate of pay must also be displayed. It is known that the coast and upper reaches of the rivers are prone to flooding and the banks of the rivers are sparsely populated– and narrower as one approaches the sources of the rivers. Then the best solution is building one span bridges across the rivers perhaps within fifty (50) – one hundred (100) miles from the mouths of the Demerara River and Berbice River. Such programs will require construction of roads to the bridges on both banks of the rivers. That’s certainly job creation. It will encourage our people to settle alongside the roads on the banks of the rivers. Perhaps, farmers will find maiden and/or fertile land.
I think bridging the Berbice River at Ithaca, or Tacama or Ituni are all much options than the current foolishness linking D’Edward with Crab Island. The Demerara River could perhaps be bridged at Timehri – or further up the river approaching Christianburg. Perhaps, the islands; Biesen, Borselem, and Inver ought to be considered in the mix. However, floating bridges ought not to be temporary. I never consider floating bridges progress and/or infrastructure to harp about .
Roads on both banks of the Demerara River and Berbice River and on the bank of the Corentyne River ought to open up new agricultural communities. A road along the bank of the Corentyne River to Lethem and the locations in the deepest southern reaches of the Rupununi District be considered and constructed soonest.
There are four floating pontoon bridges in the United States. The bridges were constructed in 1993, 1989, 1963 and 1961. They are 6,543 feet, 6,130 feet, 7,518 feet, and 6,471 feet long respectively. They are located in the state of Washington. The bridges are identified as Lacy V. Murrow-Lake Washington Bridge, the Third Lake Washington Bridge in Seattle, The Evergreen Point Bridge and The Hood Canal Bridge in Port Gamble.
