The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Kwadaso in the Ashanti Region, Mr Richmond Agyenim Boateng, has said plans are underway to construct a footbridge on the Sofoline road to aid pedestrian crossing.
This follows several incidents of pedestrians and traders being knocked down by vehicles at the Sofoline intersection of the Kumasi-Sunyani highway.
People have called for the construction of a footbridge to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
According to the MCE, plans are far advanced to construct a footbridge on the stretch.
“We’re about to construct a footbridge for pedestrians”.
“So, it’s an overpass because we already have an underpass, although people barely pass there due to security reasons”, he said.
“They [pedestrians] won’t be allowed to cross the road like they’re doing now. For now, there are cameras [there] 24 hours”.
“So, we’ll construct an overpass to ensure that people do not cross the road again”.
