Press Release: GMSA Welcomes the Opening of the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge

Georgetown, Guyana, October 5, 2025: The Guyana Manufacturing & Services Association (GMSA) welcomes the official opening of the Bharrat Jaggeo Demerara River Bridge, a project that marks a major step forward in improving Guyana’s infrastructure and competitiveness.

For manufacturers, businesses, and employees, the new bridge brings immediate benefits, such as faster, more reliable logistics; reduced costs by eliminating delays that consequently lead to demurrage charges and holding costs; and equal benefits for all with the zero-toll system. The bridge will also improve quality of life for employees, who will spend less time in traffic and more time being productive at work or with their families.

The GMSA applauds this investment in Guyana’s future. Better infrastructure strengthens the backbone of our economy, improves business competitiveness, and creates the right environment for sustained growth.
