Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Officials from Roads Authority (RA) have announced the closure of Limbe-Mkando-Chisitu Road (Moo4) from Monday until Wednesday, November 23 2022 to allow for maintenance works of Thuchila Bailey Bridge.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Monday, the RA is advising motorists travelling between Limbe and Chisitu to use the alternative Limbe-Thyolo-Muloza Road (Moo2).<\/p>\n

Roads Authority spokesperson Portia Kajanga said in an interview that within the given time frame, the authority will replace deteriorated timber on the bridge with fresh ones.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWe have closed the road temporarily because we are maintaining the bridge by replacing the old timber with fresh timber that will make the bridge safe for everyone to use.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a woman was injured at Nkando Bridge after she slipped and fell into the river due to the poor state of the bailey bridge. Mulanje Police Officer-in-Charge Edwin Magalasi confirmed the incident and identified the victim as Charity Mughogho, who works at Thuchila Health Centre under Partners In Hope.<\/p>\n

She was referred to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital for further medical treatment. Meanwhile, vehicles have stopped using the dilapidated bridge and are instead using a detour closer to the bridge as water levels are very low.<\/p>\n
