COMMUNITIES APPEAL FOR URGENT ACTION OVER COLLAPSED BRIDGE AND UNFINISHED ROAD
Residents are calling on authorities to urgently intervene following the collapse of a major bridge and deteriorating road conditions along the route from the Bypass through Na’ayok Road, crossing near the Basintale family house toward Yakut.
According to residents, the situation has become severe, with heavy vehicles reportedly involved in accidents due to the damaged and unsafe road conditions.
Community members indicated that construction works had previously commenced under a contractor but have since stalled, leaving the project incomplete and creating growing concern among road users.
The affected corridor serves as a critical link connecting Bugir Corner, Na’ayok, Basyond and surrounding communities to Bawku Township.
Residents say the damaged infrastructure has disrupted access to markets, hospitals, schools and daily economic activities, affecting livelihoods and movement across several communities.
The communities are appealing to government authorities and all relevant agencies to urgently assess the situation, resume work and restore safe access for residents.
“Our communities need connection, safety and access to essential services.”
