Residents and drivers in the Ahafo Region are calling on the government to take immediate action to repair the River Tano bridge, a vital link between the communities of Acherensua and Ntotoroso in the Asutifi South District.
The once-reliable bridge has fallen into disrepair, leaving travelers facing dangerous conditions that jeopardize their safety.
The dilapidated state of the bridge has led to rising concerns, especially among local taxi drivers, who are now finding it difficult to operate profitably.
The damaged bridge has turned what should be a simple, short route into a perilous journey, with both drivers and passengers fearing for their lives each time they cross.
What compounds the frustration for residents is the unfulfilled promise made by the previous government to complete repairs within six months.
Now, vehicles are forced to take longer, alternative routes, driving up transportation costs and placing further strain on the already burdened community.
Community members are now appealing to the current government, including Hon. Agbodza, to prioritize the repair and reconstruction of the bridge. They are urging that swift action be taken to restore a safe and reliable transport route, ensuring the safety and economic well-being of the people who depend on it.
