Bridge Fund Management project was launched to raise sufficient funds to build the crossing | opening bridges in Koo and other spotted areas marked as dangerous to cross the River Nile. There have been long experiments, discussions, and numerous assessments on how to reduce the death, save millions of lives and mitigate the impact of changing river volumes and different floodplain terrain in experimental trials with the designers of the bridges, civil engineers, architects, and road builders in these regions. Unlike the other two regions, Greater Equatoria, and Bahr el Ghazal, Koo and most of the Greater Upper Nile are the low land regions which explained why every year millions of people were reported as missed or risked their possessions or drowned amid crossing the River Nile. There have been too many rains in these regions most times of the year which added to the wildest “upstream” to River Nile at different flow rates and to different potential flood conditions. For the past fifty years, various social and political groups and governments had recommended the bridges to be built in Koo | other areas in Greater Upper Nile to save millions of lives of people. Though these regions are total landlocked, the engineers’ and the architects’ assessments say that with the present advanced technology this project will cost less, and the three pieces of works will be delivered and completed within estimated timescales approximately from 12 -to- 18 months, according, of course, the availability of the machinery, labor forces and sufficient funds needed to complete the task (read the project description and justification).
You will not find a spot anywhere over the River Nile in Greater Upper Nile where you would like to cross over the River Nile safely without endangering your possessions or risking your life. You will never find a spot where both sides of the West Bank and East bank of the River Nile are closely safe, even, level, and clean, have less current, less infested with hippos, and have no large semiaquatic reptiles. Thousands of people lost their lives and millions of animals and livestock too perished amid crossing the River Nile in these regions. This is the biggest crisis than the food shortages.
The solution to this crisis now is to build the crossing | opening bridges in Koo | Greater Upper Nile regions to drastically reduce the death, save millions of lives and significantly improved security, and mitigates all other crises.
