For generations, northern Kenya has
remained one of the country’s most
geographically isolated regions but that reality is now changing.

Replacing the aging bridge built more than 40 years ago, the construction of the new Tana River Bridge stands as one of the most significant infrastructure milestones in Kenya’s 🇰🇪 recent history.

As we journey north to celebrate in Wajir, experience this marvel of engineering and symbol of inclusive national development that connects the host county, Garissa and Mandera, to the rest of Kenya.
