Africa-Press – South-Sudan. South Sudan Road Authority’s Executive Director, Kenyatta B. Warille, has ordered the partial closure of the Juba Bridge.
This is to create working space for the installation of electric cable across the bridge, according to Kenyatta.

“The public is hereby informed that Juba Bridge shall be partially closed. This closure shall be from Saturday 11/6/2022 to Saturday, 12/6/2022,” Kenyatta said in a statement seen by Sudans Post on Wednesday.
Kenyatta urged motorists and other road users to use alternative routes to avoid delays occasioned by the partial closure of the bridge.
