Court halts construction of new Nyali bridge

The High Court in Mombasa has stopped the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) from demolishing Tamarind village Apartments to construct the second Nyali Bridge across Tudor Creek connecting Mombasa Island to the Kenyan North Coast.

Kura wants to construct the bridge on the same site where an old private suspension bridge used to be before the current Nyali bridge was launched in 1980 but has now run into legal obstacles after the court issued a decision in favour of the current occupant of the proposed bridge’s path across the the creek.
