Following a significant downpour on Sunday, a bridge in Plateau State’s Shendam Local Government Area that connects a few towns and villages has fallen.
According to reports, the bridge gave way on Sunday at 1pm when drivers were on it.
Although no lives were lost, a resident of Shendam named Aliyu Baga told the Daily Trust that the bridge fall had caused extra suffering for the local population.
The bridge, according to him, was built in 1970.
In order to access the town and other local government councils, residents of the LGA must find other routes. In fact, the event has made things more difficult. The bridge connects a variety of locations, including marketplaces and hospitals.
It is the only bridge in the LG that makes it easier to carry agriculture inputs as well as all other significant economic and social activity. We implore the appropriate authorities to save the council members,” he stated.
