The most awaited bridge at Corantijn river, connecting Guyana and Suriname is most likely to become a reality soon. The bridge will cost US$2 million with a company named WSP Caribbean.
Guyana's Minister of Public Works, Bishop Juan Edghill, attended the Contract signing ceremony for the Feasibility Study and Design of the Corentyne River Bridge in Suriname on Wednesday.
During the event, the Expression of Interest for the construction of the bridge was also launched.
Speaking in Paramaribo, Suriname, in the presence of the Minister of Public Works of Suriname, Dr Riad Nurmohamed and other officials, Minister Edghill noted that this bridge is more than just an infrastructure Project.
"It is a vision for the further development of two nations being realized. Development practitioners have agreed that bridges are key drivers of economic activity, ensuring the increased efficiency of trade, rapid exchange of ideas and quick access to services for those who need them most," Minister Edghill said.

Adding that cooperation at this level means fewer delays and more progress for both countries' populations.
"As you all may know by now, our two Presidents have treated the construction of the Bridge over the Corentyne River as one of the highest priority infrastructure agenda projects to be accomplished during their first terms in office."
Minister Edghill was joined by Vladim Persaud, Permanent Secretary, MoPW and Patrick Thompson, Chief Transport Planning Officer, MOPW.
