Dear Editor,
Congratulations to the Minister, the Ministry, Infab, all other partners and supporters; all fellow citizens who cross the bridge regularly and those who cross only occasionally; indeed, congratulations to all Guyanese. One of our largest public engineering jobs so far has been done successfully, ahead of time, and most likely within budget. Let us take a minute to recognize and acknowledge what has been in many ways a great lesson for us all, together. No doubt the old bridge-man, bridge engineer, Joe Holder, would have been proud of a job so well done, breathing refreshing life into his DHB bridge of 1976 until we have our new fixed, high span bridge within the next eighteen months. But even more, and beyond that, the alternative accommodations for the public, and our public courteously accommodating each other in the alternative arrangements, is a demonstration of what can be done, what we can become. Let us congratulate ourselves all around.
Ambassador Samuel A.A. Hinds
