Berbice Bridge takes over riverway…Vessels forced to pay to pass under

Berbice River Bridge’s high span has left many to wonder if the Berbice River Bridge Company Inc has taken over the Berbice River.
According to a number of boat operators, about three weeks ago the bridge’s management imposed an order that laden vessels, which cross under the high span free of cost, must desist from doing so. Instead, they must now cross whenever there is a retraction. And there is a fee attached.
Vessels with foreign registration are charged $55,000 for in-bound pass and another $55,000 for out-bound. Locally registered vessels pay a fee of $28,000 for a one-way pass.
This decision was presided over by Geeta Singh-Knight, the woman who also oversaw the collapse of Colonial Life Insurance (Clico) Guyana.
