Mombasa residents will no longer use the Likoni floating bridge that was built at the peak of Covid-19 pandemic at Liwatoni in 2021.

The 82-metre metallic bridge was hurriedly built across the Kilindini shipping channel, near the Likoni ferry crossing, by the China Raod and Bridge Corporation for Sh1.9 billion to curb congestion in ferries during the Covid period.
