The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development temporarily closed Mbembesi Bridge to motorists until 10 am Saturday due to a serious undercut on its bed. The ministry had closed the lane of the damaged side.
The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana says a contractor has been engaged and will be on the site tonight.
The completion of the rehabilitation procedure is expected in one week.
