There’s danger at the Mutindwa footbridge and other foobridges on Outer ring road.
The bridges that were done by Kenya Urban Roads Authority remain unfinished as wire mesh was not put on the sides of the ascending and descending platforms. This remains open and a potential hazard to young school-going children.
The 13 km stretch of outer ring road has 11 footbridges put up at a cost of Sh880 million by Kura-contracted Chinese firm Sinohydro Tianjin Engineering Limited.
However, as compared to the footbridge on Thika Road, the outer ring road one are unfinished in two ways.

One is the lack of wire mesh on the sidings, two, the lack of covers from elements on the climbing platforms.
The road cost taxpayers Sh8.5 billion.
Its construction started in 2014 and completed in 2018.
Outer ring road was the most insecure road in terms of accidents and muggings at various point.
The accidents, which were mostly between Donhom and Kangundo Road interchange; and on the Dandora Roundabout have reduced.
Muggings continue to plague the road though.
