Until then, you'll pay GY$1,900 for cars, making it Guyana's most expensive bridge crossing.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;From August 1, 2025: Completely free for all vehicles&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Current cost makes it most expensive bridge in Guyana&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Yes, President Ali officially announced on March 23, 2025, that all major Guyana bridges will be toll-free from August 1, 2025. The government has allocated GY$1.015 billion in the 2025 budget to support this transition.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3 style=&amp;quot;font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Why is the Berbice Bridge toll so expensive?&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The bridge is privately operated by Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated, and high tolls were set to recover construction and maintenance costs. At GY$1,900, it's nearly 10 times more expensive than the Demerara Bridge.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3 style=&amp;quot;font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Can pedestrians cross the Berbice Bridge?&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It's vehicles only, unlike the Demerara Harbour Bridge which has a pedestrian walkway.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3 style=&amp;quot;font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;How will the government pay for toll-free bridges?&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The toll elimination is being funded through Guyana's oil revenues rather than loans or bonds. The government has significantly increased budget allocations to bridge companies to cover operational costs.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3 style=&amp;quot;font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Will there be a new Berbice Bridge?&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Financial proposals are expected to be reviewed by end of March 2025, but the current bridge will remain toll-free even after the new bridge is built.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
