Work is set to continue to the footbridge at Adenta after being abandoned for over 8 years.
After numerous petitions to the government to complete the construction of the bridge, the government has finally put things in place to finish it after a student died after being knocked down by a car.
“Work is to be done on an accelerated basis with multiple contractors to ensure quick completion,” a statement from the inter-ministerial Committee on Roads and Highways, Transport and Interior stated.
Over 100 people have been knocked down by a car since the year started.
Yesterday, after the death of a female student of West Africa Senior High School, residents of Adenta and Madina blocked the road and demonstrated against the government’s failure to complete the bridge.
The presence of the police made things worse as the demonstrators clashed with the police as the police fired rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrators.
