Later on, four residents including a woman and a child were swept away but efforts to retrieve their bodies remained futile,\u201d said Ntakirutimana Vincent.   <\/p>\n<p>Nyamagabe district vice mayor for economic affairs, Kabayiza Lambert has explained that the bridge was constructed to enhance free movements.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bridge constructed last year connects Kamegeri, Rususa and Bwama cells in Kamegeri sector,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>Kabayiza also revealed that Nyamagabe district has expended considerable resources to remove barriers hindering movements including the renovation of bridges.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe built four suspension bridges in 2020 that were an addition to three bridges constructed the previous year,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>Other bridges were built in Kamegeri, Cyanika and Gatare sectors among others.<br \/>\nThe district targets to build 30 suspension bridges over different rivers.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-37737 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/mu_murenge_wa_kamegeri_hubatswe_ikiraro_cyo_mu_kirere_gifasha_abaturage_kwambuka_umugezi_wa_mwogo_umaze_igihe_utwara_abantu.jpg\" alt=\"The bridge comes in handy as neighboring communities will get relief from River Mwogo floods. \" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-37739 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/iki_kiraro_g55be-1f95b.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-37738 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ni_ikiraro_c3e49-81576.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-37736 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/bemeza_ko_iki_kiraro_kitarubakwa_uyu_mugezi_wa_mwogo_watwaye_ubuzima_bw_abaturanyi_babo_umuna.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{A suspension bridge crossing over River Mwogo has been completed in Nyamagabe district expected to facilitate movements and connect residents in surrounding communities. } <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-42784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42784\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42784"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=42784"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=42784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
