For 47 years, the Demerara Harbour Bridge connected generations of Guyanese across the Demerara River. 🇬🇾
Originally expected to serve for around a decade, the famous floating bridge remained in operation from 1978 to 2025—becoming part of everyday life for thousands of commuters.
Now, a new high-level bridge has changed how Guyanese cross the river.
No more waiting for the bridge to retract for passing ships. 🌉
Do you remember crossing the old Demerara Harbour Bridge?
What memory stands out the most? 👇🇬🇾
