Progress on the Demerara River Bridge construction

[@deborahaleow.2645]

I once worked at the Houston Nursery school, and ventured out to some of those East Bank villages, like Eccles. I rode my bicycle from Campbellville, to Houston. Fond memories, I will definitely see these improvements on the East Bank.

Thanks for sharing. What was that being pumped there? Guyana is on the RISE! Thank God for all he is doing for Guyana!

[@JohnC-d2e]

Thanks to the PPP

[@RaphaelNation]

Thanks to the oil money which the PPP is spending but which was made possible the the contract signed by the APNU-AFC government. Why is it so hard for you racist people to give credit where it’s due.

[@SteveJones-qm5bu]

@@RaphaelNation Yea! That great contract! Straighten your eyes and your HEAD! Ask Guyanese about this great contract which the oil company wrote and made the AFC/AFC Ram if through parliament. Now, it’s the PPP’s fault and the pressure is on the PPP to fix it. Yes, Mr. PNC stooge!

[@nadirhussain8923]

Very clear video, I guess you’re using a high definition camera, I used to live a stone throw away from the Assembly of God church, thanks for the video!

[@juliusmcbean1611]

Nice 👍

[@IanBynoe-it6ni]

Raphael, this is not a Suspension Bridge but a Cable Stay Bridge. There is a big difference between the two.❤

[@SteveJones-qm5bu]

This fella said he’s a neuro scientist. Just listen and anyone can tell who he is or isn’t. What is a neurotic scientist doing running around taking videos? He knows nothing. This chap is campaigning for the AFC/PNC. He feigns showing development in Guyana but is attempting blasting the government every turn he makes. He made some outright lies about the way the Peter’s Hall residents were compensated after the PNC/AFC injected themselves into the matter and corrupted the home owners to go get 3 and 4 way over valued appraisals. The matter went to court which ordered the government to pay the home owners way less than they demanded and what the government had agreed to pay them in the first instance. One more blunder by the AFC/PNC. Misleading people. Last week, he was making all sorts of inuendos that the PPP Government was giving its supporters and cronies $250,000.00. Somebody needs to sue this a$$hole!

[@RaphaelNation]

Please explain the difference. There is a suspension part at the high span part of the bridge. There are cables used for suspension. So a suspension bridge is by definition cable suspension bridge. Please explain what you mean.

[@RaphaelNation]

Don’t be an asshole on this channel. I will block you the next time you leave a nasty retarded comment.

[@RaphaelNation]

I have looked up the definition of a cable stayed bridge and you are correct that the high span meets the definition of a cable stayed bridge. Thanks for the correction.

[@IanBynoe-it6ni]

@RaphaelNation , no problem, my friend. I worked on a few bridges here in New York years ago. I am kinda simi retired. I have a small construction business. I am like a freelancer now ever since my son left and went to work with the city.

[@MelNurse-l4n]

Ok sir. I love the videos today and yesterday. Interesting to see all these important buildings and structures clustered together. It is a clear indication of how the infrastructure of the country is coming together. However, my research has shown that the government was giving the Peters Hall residents the current market value of their home plus a little more. The court case is completed and they were awarded less than the amount the government was giving them.

[@PeterMohabeer]

Lack of research by Mr. Nation.

[@josephrajaram3131]

Suspension Bridge are like Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge.Cable Stayed Bridge are like Goethaks Bridge and Kosciuszko Bridge in New York

[@RaphaelNation]

Thank you for your clarification.

[@JohnC-d2e]

Rafael... you need a drone to effectively show the bridge. We got tons of good arial shots on youtube. You need to keep up with progress in guyana. Who takes a video on foot. Drones are it.....all angles...fast and smooth.

[@RaphaelNation]

The story is more important than drone footage. I used drone footage before and it did not increase the views.

[@murtlandjardine8716]

PROGRESS TAKES TIME, PLANNING ALONG WITH DISCIPLINE

[@PeterMohabeer]

Look around. There is a restaurant called The Other Wife in the opposite carriageway You are obviously smelling the cooking from there.

[@eddiejoseph7949]

Cable-stay is more cost effective +++++

[@deborahaleow.2645]

Exactly.....trains needed, train...job creation for many, relating to train travel. Transportation across Guyana. "Dahl soup for Breakfast....I plan to make me some for breakfast one morning" Women are cooking lunches for their husbands and children also!.😃

[@AMARNAUTHPERSAUD]

This bridge is much needed but having just one bridge access the demerara river is a risk. They need another bridge. Natural disasters do happen and they should consider a bridge further up the East Bank Demerara. Even if its a two lane.

[@IanBynoe-it6ni]

At least three bridges are needed . They could put one in Georgetown using the old railway enbankmemt from Kingston to West coast demerara. And an another one at Soesdyke Linden highway, junction to West Bank demerara. ❤

[@josephrajaram3131]

It's a cable stayed Bridge not a suspension Bridge.

[@faroukmohamed9159]

You hate everything that being done in guyana good or bad Rome was not built in a day maybe train in the future

[@RaphaelNation]

Don’t be a dummy. There are international standards that must be followed when building public infrastructure. If you are excusing mediocrity then you are condoning corruption and theft because that is what happens when we accept poor quality infrastructure. Billions of US dollars are being spent and people are getting rich but taxpayers are getting crap that would never be acceptable in the developed world.

[@deborahaleow.2645]

Trains, are needed now....there is enough oil money for it. Pause on all those swanky shiny hotels they enjoy building and showing off with! get the train and train tracks going, employment for youths and more!

[@SteveJones-qm5bu]

And he also deletes my posts! Cruddy individual!

[@RaphaelNation]

I never deleted a post. The algorithm censors posts that do not meet community guidelines.

[@nadirhussain8923]

As we celebrate MLK day in the U.S let us reflect on some of his quotes that still resonate in todays world:"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear" "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend" We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope" "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope"

[@nadirhussain8923]

Let us respect each other, despite our differences of opinion!

[@RaphaelNation]

@ some people have intellectual disabilities. You can’t reason with them. As you get older you understand that you just need to block them because time is too precious to waste on fools. Nowadays we call them undiagnosed neurodivergent or autistic. Nothing can be done to communicate with them because their brain is not neurotypical.
