Bridge provides safe passage for people and vehicles over the water bodies,valleys and roads. It is obvious that a group of people seems to feel scary while crossing bridges.
If you love adventure, there are those bridges that you won't like to crose again. Let me consider this one;
The Ol donyo Sabuk bridge
It is 22km from Thika town along the main Garrisa road to Makutano junction, few meters from the Fourteen Falls.
River Athi flows slowly leisurely under this bridge. If it is your first time to cross this bridge, you will probably induce anxiety due to its utterly traumatizing outlook. It's guardrails are vandalized by crooks who later sale them as scrap metals.
This bridge has recorded dark history not only in Machakos but also in the whole country. It has become synonymous with mysterious murder due to large number of bodies recovered in the river near the bridge.The unclean murky waters in the enormous river below is cluttered with emboldened water hyacinth weed as it flows down to the prominent Fourteen Falls.On the other side of the bridge there are two officers deployed to manage the bridge.
During heavy downpour, residents encounter big loss of flocks of sheep and cattle.
It is very dangerous to cross the bridge during rainy seasons.
