Garowe Bridges

The Garowe Bridges Project under Somalia Urban Resilience Project Phase II (SURP II) focuses on building and rehabilitating critical bridge infrastructure in Garowe to enhance urban resilience, economic development, and safety.

The project involves constructing new bridges and rehabilitating existing ones that are crucial for connecting various parts of the city. These bridges play a vital role in improving transportation networks and ensuring that essential services remain accessible even during periods of heavy rain or flooding.

Garowe, like many cities in Somalia, faces significant flooding risks during the rainy season. The new and rehabilitated bridges are designed to integrate with the drainage systems being built under SURP II. This ensures that the bridges not only serve as transport links but also help manage water runoff, reducing the risk of flood damage in urban areas. By improving connectivity, the Garowe Bridges Project will facilitate the movement of people and goods, helping to boost the local economy. Better infrastructure can attract investment and improve trade by reducing transportation costs and time, especially for agricultural and commercial goods.
