The owners of the cement truck were able to get the truck safely off of the bridge. We also anticipate the commencement of work to correct the water main as early as tomorrow.”Roach and Mackey both confirmed that the new bridge is on Spanish Wells, with Mackey noting “the government and Waugh Construction (Bahamas) Ltd. will work feverishly to commence the reconstruction on this new bridge, so as to keep the inconveniences at a minimum and totally facilitate the island as soon as possible”.When asked about the delay in the new bridge being built since the contract was signed last July, Roach and Ministry of Public Works Deputy Director Robert Mouzas said it was first impacted by Hurricane Dorian in September and now further impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut the country down in March.“The new bridge is on the island, but the contractor was in the process of obtaining a barge, which would have been used to provide temporary access while they took down the old bridge and constructed the new bridge,” Roach said.“That barge is currently in Florida and it’s going to go to Grand Bahama and pick up the contractors, additional materials and equipment, and then it would go to Spanish Wells.”Further addressing the delay, Roach and Mouzas said the bridge took two months to be manufactured, and then the Grand Bahama-based contractor “lost just about everything”, including his equipment, during Dorian.They said the contractor then had to wait months to get insurance to replace equipment, and noted that the COVID-19 pandemic struck as the country was still attempting to recover from Dorian.“It’s an unfortunate series of events that you couldn’t make up,” Mouzas said.The collapsed Russell Island bridge connecting mainland Spanish Wells to Russell Island yesterday.
