  <div dir="auto">The Malawi Engineering Institution has called for a review of bridge design, construction management, and environmental oversight after heavy rains and floods caused widespread damage to roads and bridges. </div>
</div>
<div>
  <div dir="auto">Its CEO, Engineer Arthur Wengawenga, says the extreme weather exposed the limits of current infrastructure. </div>
</div>
<div>
  <div dir="auto">“Several bridges could not handle the volume of water, leading to significant destruction,” Wengawenga explained. </div>
</div>
<div>
  <div dir="auto">He warned that climate change is increasing rainfall intensity, noting that Kasungu Station may have recorded such heavy rainfall for the first time in years. </div>
</div>
<div>
  <div dir="auto">Wengawenga has also blamed environmental degradation upstream, including deforestation, which worsens runoff and amplifies flood damage to roads and bridges. </div>
