Tharaka Nithi County Governor Muthomi Njuki has called for the re-engineering of Nithi bridge by the national government, in an effort to reduce road carnage.
Governor Njuki says many lives have been lost at the bridge and that it is the time a permanent solution to the problem was pursued.
The county boss was speaking at the burial of one of the people who recently lost their lives at the bridge.
On December 27, another ugly road accident at the infamous Nithi Bridge blackspot claimed the life of one person.
A child also went missing following the accident.
The accident involved a personal car and a motorcycle. They collided head-on on the bridge which is known for accidents as it is on a slop.
Nithi Bridge lies on the Meru-Nairobi highway.
