To build two concrete-reinforced bridges, each around 80 m in length, in two of the country’s most productive agriculture and livestock areas. This will benefit some 1.7 million people from increased incomes and better access to health, education, marketplaces and administrative services. The two new bridges will cross the Kakrima and Milou Rivers and will thus replace the existing obsolete ferries that are presently transporting goods, passengers and vehicles.
