A shaky makeshift bridge constructed by the community over River Ssezibwa on a major road that connects Mukono and Kayunga districts has put the lives of travellers at risk.
The bridge was constructed in 2019 using eucalyptus poles after torrential rains washed away the previous bridge on the Kyampisi-Kabimbiri road that had just been commissioned by President Museveni.
The section of  the bridge that was washed away measures 60 metres.
The outgoing Kasawo Sub-county chairperson, Mr Badru Kafumbe, on Sunday said most  poles that were used to construct the bridge, have now been submerged in water and the  structure may collapse any time.
