The footbridges were awarded for construction in November 2018 and commissioned last year following series of demonstrations by residents of the area.
They were vehement in calling for the footbridges to help stop accidents which have claimed many lives at the said spot.
However, after their completion, some of the same residents have expressed misgivings about the long and winding nature of the bridges, hence they abandon them and resort to crossing the roads riskily.

A recent video circulating online shows a military man punishing two men who tried to cross the roads without using the footbridges.
