Did You Know? 🤔

🚢 Floating Engineering Marvel: The Berbice Bridge is a floating structure, supported by pontoons, making it one of the longest of its kind in the region!

⏳ Time Saver: Before the bridge was built, travelers had to rely on ferries, which took over an hour to cross the Berbice River. Now, it takes just five minutes!

🔧 Why Pontoons Matter: The bridge relies on pontoons to stay afloat, so routine replacements are crucial to keep it safe and operational for thousands of daily commuters.

🏗️ Record-Setting Construction: Completed in 2008, the Berbice River Bridge is 1,570 meters (5,150 feet) long and was the first major river crossing of its kind in Guyana!

Adding these fun facts will make the notice more interesting while educating travelers about the importance of the maintenance work. 🚗✨
