Travellers and residents along the Bawku-Garu-Tempane-Pusiga road are urgently requesting assistance after a bridge on the route collapsed, significantly disrupting travel. This key link between the four communities of Bawku, Garu, Tempane, and Pusiga has been washed away, leaving motorists struggling to safely navigate the damaged section and leaving some travellers stranded on both sides.
The road collapse has raised serious concerns among residents about the impact on the transportation of goods, produce, and other essential items, and the potential for further economic disruption. Footage from the area shows a large truck and multiple vehicles gathered around the damaged bridge, as residents attempt to manage the hazardous road conditions.
Motorists express worry over the safety risks posed by the weakened section, especially as rain continues to fall. The affected communities are urgently appealing to the government, the Ghana Highway Authority, and other relevant agencies to swiftly intervene and restore the damaged bridge. Failure to act could exacerbate the situation, making travel and movement between the communities increasingly difficult in the coming days.
