Motorists and pedestrians using the Migori Main Bridge along the Kisii–Migori–Isebania highway have raised an alarm over the widening cracks and sagging sections, warning that the bridge is a disaster waiting to happen.
The bridge, which connects Migori Town to Kuria East, Kuria West, Suna West, Suna East and Awendo Constituencies and crosses into Tanzania, is one of the busiest crossings in Nyanza. However, it has been neglected by authorities.
In recent weeks, new cracks have appeared on the deck and on the concrete supports, with visible gaps that allow water to seep through during rains.
