Residents of Sherigu – Zurebiisi, a suburb of Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region are calling on the contractor working on their bridge to return and complete the project to enable them have easy passage to Sherigu and its adjoining communities.

It would be recalled that in 2020, A1 Radio aired a story concerning the plight of residents of Sherigu – Zurebiisi. The residents were appealing to authorities to help construct their bridge in order for them to have easy access to nearby communities. The bridge was subsequently awarded to a contractor. While the work is almost complete, residents are unable to use the bridge because the contractor failed to link both sides of the road to the newly constructed bridge.

The frustrated residents spoke to A1 News.

John Akolgo, a resident said, “Our problem is how to cross even after the construction of the bridge is complete. Meanwhile, the place he left for us to be passing when he was working, has been excavated. You see that the bridge has been constructed in the middle of the river so without linking the road to the bridge you can not pass on it to cross, that is the problem we are facing here once again”

Another resident Ayine said, “we are just pleading to the contractor to come back and complete the bridge for us because the way he left the bridge is just a big challenge for us in the community”.

“I am using a motor king, if I get work at Kembisi or Dorongo I can not pass here and get there in a very short time unless I go to town and then return, because of the way the contractor left the bridge. It is very sad looking at the situation here,” another resident laments.

Meanwhile, the residents were also quick to add that, they appreciate the work done by the contractor because according to them the bridge has been constructed to the standard that community members were expecting.

When A1 News contacted the Assembly Member of the area, Francis Amoah about the concerns of the residents, he assured them that he will make a follow up at the urban roads so that the bridge will be open up for use since the construction work is completed.
