Kenya’s Most Expensive Abandoned Mega Project | Likoni Floating Bridge (1.9B KSH / $17M) 4K

Описание: Experience Kenya’s most expensive abandoned mega project — the Likoni Floating Bridge in Mombasa. Built in 2020 for 1.9 Billion KSH (~$17M USD), this ambitious floating bridge connected Mombasa Island to Likoni, offering pedestrians a faster alternative to the crowded ferry.

Constructed by the China Road & Bridge Corporation with the Kenya Ports Authority, the bridge stretched 1.2 km, floating on steel pontoons with a swing section for ships.

Although it carried thousands of pedestrians daily and boosted local shops, the bridge was eventually abandoned due to several reasons:

Ship Delays: The swing section had to open for ships, causing long waits for both pedestrians and vessels.

Port Congestion: The bridge contributed to traffic congestion in the Likoni channel and nearby port area, slowing economic activity.

Inefficiency / Temporary Solution: Built during COVID-19 to reduce ferry crowding, it was never intended as a permanent solution.

Alternative Infrastructure: The government plans to demolish the bridge and redirect traffic via the Dongo Kundu bypass, which is more efficient.

Maintenance Challenges: Structural wear and high maintenance costs made continued operation impractical.

Today, it stands as a silent, abandoned reminder of Kenya’s bold engineering projects. Join this 4K walking tour and explore the bridge’s history, community impact, and coastal surroundings.
