Sigiri Bridge, Steel bridge in Busia County, Kenya.

The Sigiri Bridge spans across the Nzoia River with three spans, featuring a central span of 32 meters and concrete deck supported by steel beams.

The bridge construction initiated in 2016 with a budget of 1.2 billion Kenyan shillings following a tragic boat accident that claimed nine lives in 2014.

The bridge construction represented a significant infrastructure development for the local communities who had long awaited improved transportation connections in western Kenya.

The structure serves both pedestrians and vehicles, connecting different regions of Busia County and facilitating trade between previously separated communities.

During construction in June 2017, the bridge experienced a structural failure at its center point, resulting in injuries to 28 workers.
