Photo: Tamburawa Bridge in Kano on the verge of collapse...

Nura Alkali shared the photo on Facebook this morning and wrote:
"This is Tamburawa Bridge in Kano, which is still in use. Rest assured that a sudden collapse resulting in fatalities will meet with "ikon Allah", "kwana ya kare". . . when, in fact, Allah told no one to disobey the laws of gravity. The engineer who came up with this temporary solution should be sacked and prosecuted for public endangerment."

  23. It is today I know LIB readers are as dumb and dumb can get and can swallow anything they read. That bridge has a fault quite alright but what you see is not a temporary solution that's how the bridge was built. The problem there is the foundation is exposed due to maybe dredging activities or natural desilting of the river bed. What is exposed are the steel casing pipes used for the foundation. Those pipes you see are filled with concrete and driven into the ground.

  29. Given that most of the govt officials now fly in their private jets it's no wonder they couldn't give a hoot if our roads and bridges become death traps. It makes one question what are the main priorities of this government. Embezzlement i guess.

  30. There is nothing wrong with the bridge from a structural standpoint. Just suffering a severe case of scouring of earth material from erosion or water current or earth movement.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Government shld look into it.

  32. Why risking innocent peoples life, dis is is not a joke abeg. Let d Govt of d state do something urgently.

  34. Ignorance is bliss ! this is a normal bridge design with erosion washing away the foundation... ! what we see if the foundation of the concrete part(Pile foundation).. don't blame the design blame the follow up maintenance !

  35. Which engineer, what you are seeing is a pile that housed the reinforcement. The base have been chopped off by flood it can still be maintained Or demolished if the bearing capacity is inefficient. Let the state government act immediately

  36. This is death trap,something shld be done fast...

  37. Which engineer? What you are seeing is a pile that is housing the reinforcement of that structure which is driven several meters deep the ground am not saying it should be left like that,government should act fast on it. The structure can still be maintained Or reconstructed if the bearing capacity is inefficient.

  38. This govt should see it now ooo and something fast before it will collapse and kill people

  39. I dey laff o, shebi when u dont knw smth u seek knowledge or keep mum. It is called PILE, it is either driving or bored into the ground where it is stable, and it is usually used for bridges and highrise buildings on water including the 3rd mainland bridge you all are familiar with, its just that you wont see it like the one in the picture as the pile cap which is usually at the water level would have covered it. FACT: The popular Burj Al Arab in the UAE as 320 nos of pile and all are 45m in lenght.

  42. You don't need to be alarmed the bridge is sitting on piles and should be ok. Because the water level is low and has exposed the piles does not mean the bridge will soon collapse i have not seen any structural failure on the concrete structure a close examination by the authorities is however necessary to put your minds to rest

  43. Nigeria should have a working plan for maintenance now... This isn't good news
