Hey albert, couldn't the Gov't use the G$2.8B (US$14M) it has committed to the Zublin Group (to build a Marriott hotel) to buy out the investors for the Berbice Bridge?

Wouldn't it ease the plight of the poor and lead to greater development in Berbice? How about that money be used to build a new suspension bridge a little further upriver? This would facilitate growth on both sides of the river, would dispossess no one and have no impact on the river dynamics. Access roads and infrastructure to bring in soil etc already exist in the area as well. (D2)
