Engineers repairing the Sh992 million collapsed Sigiri Bridge in Busia have declared it safe.
On Tuesday, the experts tested the bridge on River Nzoia River and confirmed that it can be used by vehicles.

The bridge, which was constructed by Chinese Overseas Construction and Engineering Company, collapsed two weeks after President Uhuru Kenyatta visited the region to inspect it.
The cause of the collapse is yet to be known though it is suspected that construction was hurried.
Project engineer Sylvester Mwamba from Kenya Rural Roads Authority, who led the day-long inspection together with weighbridge officials, said the road was ready for use.
