Residents who rely on the Kalangi-Namba Kodero bridge in Nyatike sub-county of Migori County have expressed fear that the bridge could collapse any time.
The bridge, which forms a vital road connection within the region, has been hit by heavy erosion and hangs precariously on creaky beams, hence endangering the people depending on it to reach their destinations.
A spot-check by KNA crew confirmed a looming danger posed by the bridge, whose beams have been terribly eroded by fast-moving water as heavy trucks, pedestrians and other motorists made daring manoeuvres to cross it.
Addressing the press at the scene, one of the regular bridge users, Leonard Awino, said that it was only a matter of time before the region records a worse accident over the bridge.
