Narok County Commissioner Isaac Masinde, who led the CDICC requested the Sinoe Construction Company, which is building the 21 meters deep and 8 meters broad bridge, to adhere to the agreed-upon schedules and to perform excellent work so that the bridge may serve future generations.

Eng. Masinde said that while the bridge will give an alternate route to the Maasai Mara University for the county commissioner’s office, county government offices, county assembly, and members of the public who seek services from the offices upon completion, the road’s will help decrease traffic jams in Narok town since cars will be able to quickly connect to the Narok-Bomet Highway.
CDICC to visit the Narok River bridge project site again in March
According to the commissioner, the CDICC will return to the construction site by the end of March to assess the level of work completed.
