Point Investment Donates 100 Bags of Cement for Yei Bridge Project

(YEI RIVER COUNTY) – Construction materials have arrived at the site of the long awaited Kanjoro Bridge in Yei River County, with work expected to begin once remaining deliveries are completed.

County authorities said six truckloads of river sand, six trips of aggregates and several loads of hardcore stones have already been delivered to the project site.

An additional eight truckloads of construction materials are still expected before work officially begins.

In support of the project, Point Investment Engineering Company donated more than 100 bags of cement to facilitate the start of the bridge construction.

The Commissioner of Yei River County, Samuel Henry Malimbo, accompanied by the State Revenue Director for Yei, Chandiga, and Access Radio Station Chief Johnson Poru Hillary, visited the construction site on 29 June 2026 to assess the progress of preparations and inspect the available materials.

Commissioner Malimbo welcomed the progress made so far and expressed optimism that construction works would begin once the remaining materials arrive.

Access Radio Station Manager Johnson Poru said that if some of the materials come in time, the workforce will start on the bridge construction.

Kanjoro Bridge has for years remained one of the most challenging crossing points in Yei River County, particularly during the rainy season when flooding raises water levels and makes movement difficult for residents.

The bridge’s poor condition has especially affected children, elderly people and other vulnerable members of the community who rely on the route for access to essential services and markets.

Residents have expressed hope that the construction of the bridge will improve transportation, enhance connectivity and reduce risks associated with crossing the area during periods of heavy rainfall.
