The district is rehabilitating the bridge at Katete, which carries traffic between the farming areas and the town across the River Rwizi. The deck is cracked, the railings are broken in places, and the approaches flood in the rainy season.

What the work covers

  • Replacing damaged sections of the deck and guard rails
  • Raising and paving both approaches so they stay open when the river is high
  • Clearing the channel under the bridge and protecting the banks with stone

What it means for residents

Once finished, farmers, boda boda riders and school children will have a safe crossing all year. Traffic will use one lane while the work is going on; please follow the signs on site.

Progress updates will be posted here every quarter.
