Itinerary

• Demerara Harbour Bridge (Pass by)

  The Demerara Harbour Bridge is a significant infrastructure landmark located in Guyana, South America. It spans the Demerara River, connecting the country's capital city, Georgetown, to the western region of Demerara-Mahaica. This floating bridge is a crucial transportation link, facilitating the movement of vehicles and pedestrians between these areas. The bridge's construction was completed in 1978, and it has since become a vital artery for commerce, trade, and daily commuting in the region. The Demerara Harbour Bridge plays a pivotal role in connecting urban and rural areas, fostering economic growth, and enhancing accessibility for the local population. It's an iconic symbol of Guyana's development and a testament to the engineering prowess required to create and maintain such a complex structure in a challenging environment.
