Residents of Mbeere North can finally breathe a sigh of relief following the completion of a new bridge across the River Ena along the Kanyuambora–Kamumu–Siakago road. The river had claimed many lives over the years, particularly during the rainy season.

The new structure replaces the old low-level bridge that frequently overflowed, cutting off transport and communication whenever water levels rose.
