Residents call for urgent attention after bridge linking Achiase and Anumso communities collapses
Residents of Achiase and Anumso are appealing to the government to urgently reconstruct a collapsed bridge that serves as the main link between their communities. The bridge collapsed about two months ago after a heavy-duty truck attempted to cross the weakened structure. The collapse has left residents, motorists, and traders facing severe transportation challenges, disrupting the movement of people, goods, and essential services. A resident stated, "This bridge serves as the boundary between the Juaben Municipality and the Bosome Freho District. We are suffering because of its collapse and urgently need government intervention."
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Juaben, Eunice Ohenewaa Ansu, acknowledged the challenge and attributed the collapse partly to the frequent use of the bridge by overloaded heavy-duty trucks. She also indicated that illegal mining activities in the area could have contributed to weakening the bridge's foundation. Motorists expressed concern that the situation worsens during heavy rainfall, as the road leading to the collapsed bridge becomes flooded, bringing transportation to a complete standstill.
