Guyana and Suriname select contractor for landmark Corentyne bridge

Guyana and Suriname have selected China Road & Bridge Corporation to construct the 1.1-kilometre bridge across the Corentyne River to link the two countries.

Public Works Minister Juan Edghill says China Road and Bridge has been the preferred evaluated bidder that has been agreed on by both countries.

Mr Edghill said construction of the 1.1-kilometre road would begin as soon as both countries finalise financing for the US$236 million project.
