A crucial bridge linking Siaya and Bondo will be completed by June, nearly 10 years after construction began.

Works on the Uludhi Bridge in Rangala, an important faction of the Siaya-Bondo road linking the area to the Kisumu-Busia highway, started in 2009 when the contract for the road’s tarmacking was awarded.
