After months of anxious calls from residents, the safety of the Baifikrom bridge in the Mfantseman Municipality is finally receiving urgent attention.
A significant delegation, comprising officials from NADMO and National Security, was on-site on March 31st to inspect ongoing emergency works at the bridge, a vital connector for several districts.
Locals have long voiced their fears, describing the Baifikrom bridge as a “death trap” due to its alarming state of disrepair.
The structure, a crucial link between the Mfantseman Municipality , Ajumako District, and Assikuma Odoben Brakwa to Akyem Oda, has been a source of constant worry.
The danger isn’t limited to commuters; residents also regularly fetch water from directly beneath the unstable bridge, compounding the risks.
Today’s high-level inspection, led by the Mfantseman NADMO Director, Hon. Abeiku Nyankson, alongside National Security representatives, signifies a serious response to the community’s pleas.
The focus is now on the emergency measures being implemented to secure this critical artery and prevent a potential tragedy.

Hon Nuredeen is appealing to Mfantseman MP Dr Prince Arhine and Ajumako Enyan Essiam MP Hon Dr Ato Forson to take immediate action to repair the bridge.
