Enchi Asenkrigua road in Northern region a death trap for users

This is Enchi Asenkrigua road, which used to be one of the best roads in Ghana, constructed by a Chinese company funded by the government of Ghana using taxpayers’ money.

According to an X user, illegal gold miners, including those with licenses, have mined underneath, causing damage.

He stated that, now the concrete walls that were erected as barriers have been pulled down, and the road is in disrepair. Standing in one spot feels like being in a cave due to the extensive mining activities.

The ponds left unfilled by the miners pose a hazard to the road’s stability.

Despite the leaders of the country and traditional area passing through, illegal mining continues unabated.

The road has been reduced to just a quarter of its original width, with the rest supposed to be a pedestrian path. This poses a significant risk of head-on collisions.

The situation prompts questions about who is to blame: the Chinese, foreigners, or ourselves. It reflects the current trend of neglect by politicians.

If this continues, the road’s condition will worsen, endangering lives.
