In the Upper East Region of Ghana, a ticking time bomb threatens to cut off the region from the rest of the country. The Pwalugu Bridge, the only accessible road linking the region to most parts of the country, is on the verge of collapse. Apexnewgh reports
This alarming situation has caught the attention of Mr. Gabriel Agambila, an opinion leader in the Diaspora, who is sounding the alarm bells.
The Pwalugu Bridge is more than just a road; it’s a lifeline that connects the Upper East Region to the northern regions, facilitating the transportation of goods to and from Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali. However, this critical infrastructure has been neglected for over 40 years, with no major maintenance works undertaken.
The consequences of the bridge’s collapse would be catastrophic. A trip that currently takes one hour to the northern region would take a staggering seven hours, effectively cutting off the region from the rest of the country. The economic and social implications would be dire, leaving the people of the Upper East Region to cry “had I known.”
Mr. Agambila is appealing to the authorities to take immediate action to address the situation. “I’m calling on the authorities to take a closer look at the bridge and get it fixed before disaster strikes,” he urged. He’s also asking people from the region to take a drive to the bridge and see firsthand the deterioration of the bridge.
As the clock ticks closer to disaster, it’s imperative that the authorities take heed of Mr. Agambila’s warning and act swiftly to repair the Pwalugu Bridge. The people of the Upper East Region are counting on it.
