– traffic flowing faster

Guyana’s police may be able to monitor traffic on the Demerara Harbour Bridge from as early as Monday, General Manager, Rawlston Adams has said.
According to Adams, personnel from the DHB are in discussions with police from the Brickdam Police Station. “We have already installed the antenna; we are now installing the router… we are hoping to test the link,” Adams said in a statement release yesterday.
The GM noted that police will be able to see vehicles entering and exiting the bridge. This will be an additional tool of the police to combat crimes.
It was emphasized that the system has been proven effective since it has helped to reduce traffic congestion.
“We have received positive responses from people. The traffic is flowing much faster off the bridge because that bottle neck that used to force people to slow down is no longer there.”
In terms of preventing corruption from occurring due to the absence of people collecting tickets, Adams noted that all vehicles using the bridge are recorded.
“There are two sets of recordings ongoing simultaneously: actual video evidence of vehicles transiting the bridge and that is coupled with ticket sales.”
It was noted that the system will also be closely supervised daily by auditors who are also equipped with monitors.
Government is also working to enhance the structural integrity of the bridge. Adams noted that within the past two years in excess of $2B was spent on its rehabilitation and maintenance.
