A crucial bridge connecting Kambia and Amina collapsed early today leaving hundreds of residents into distress and disrupting daily life.
The bridge, a key route for commuters, schoolchildren, businesspeople, and farmers, is now impassable, sparking widespread concern in the community.
Residents describe the bridge as a lifeline, essential for reaching work, school, and market. With schools recently reopening, parents and students now face serious challenges finding alternative routes, heightening anxiety in the area.
“This is a disaster. The timing couldn’t be worse, especially with schools resuming. We don’t know how we will manage,” said one concerned parent.
Farmers and traders, who depend on the bridge to transport their goods to market, have also expressed frustration, fearing economic losses.
“This bridge is our only way to get goods to market. If it’s not fixed soon, many of us will struggle to survive,” said a local farmer.
Residents of both Kambia and Amina are urgently calling on authorities to take immediate action. They are pleading for swift repairs, stressing that their livelihoods depend on the restoration of this vital connection.
