Residents of Esreso West in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region are voicing their frustration over an unfinished bridge in their community, calling for its completion.
The bridge, which is the only link between their communities, has been left incomplete for over a year, despite repeated pleas for assistance from authorities.
The poor construction of the bridge by Kofi Job Construction Limited has severely impacted the residents’ daily lives, especially during the rainy season.
The lack of a proper bridge has disrupted economic activities and made commuting difficult for the residents of Old Adagya and neighboring communities.
The community members have resorted to constructing a temporary bridge using wooden structures to alleviate the situation temporarily.
However, this makeshift solution is not sustainable, and the residents are urging the government to intervene and address the issue promptly.
Dominic Owusu, the assembly member of the electoral area, noted that the community’s concerns have been raised with the appropriate authorities multiple times, but no concrete action has been taken to resolve the problem.
He emphasized the urgent need for government intervention to ensure that the residents have access to a safe and reliable bridge.
The unfinished bridge not only hinders economic activities but also poses challenges for healthcare services and school children in the community.
The residents are calling on the government to prioritize the completion of the bridge to improve their quality of life and ensure their safety.
