Ghana's 'Death Trap' Bridge: Residents Plead for Urgent Repairs

Residents of Yiwabrankwanta in Ghana's Western Region are facing daily risks due to a severely damaged bridge connecting their area to the Western North Region. The bridge, shown in a recent UTV Ghana report, is described by locals as a "death trap." "The bridge is just falling apart," says one resident, highlighting the danger to pedestrians and vehicles. Another resident, a teacher, explains the difficulties faced by schoolchildren who must navigate the hazardous crossing. The damaged bridge significantly impacts farmers, hindering their ability to transport goods to market. The video underscores the urgent need for repairs and demonstrates the real-world consequences of infrastructure neglect. The local government has yet to respond to the community's pleas for assistance.
