Since Wednesday we are at the bridge site and preparing the reinforcement works. We work together with the students of KIST as well as with local personal. Thanks to the enormous man power on site, we were already able to accomplish almost all previewed maintenance works. During the next week, we are planning to weld the reinforcement beams on the bridge and implement the stress test.

We are accommodated in the little village Gahunduguru, which is about 40 minutes by foot from the bridge. Even though the village doesn´t have any electricity, there is a lot of life going on in the streets. Even in the dark, people walking around in the streets or sitting in one of the cozy bars. We were very warmly welcomed and are accommodated in the house of the local teacher.

The local authorities help us out with personal and supplying us as good as possible with the needed material and tools.
