The bridge on the werewere river links communities like Tekese, Ampemkro, Asratoa, Gyankufa, Asiri, Goka, Buni, Asuokor, and Seikwa in the Jaman South Municipal, Tain, and Jaman North Districts respectively but authorities have neglected the bridge. According to the residents, despite the economic importance of the bridge, it has become bedraggled, posing serious risks to residents who use it on a regular basis. The Odikro of Yaamansa, Nana Takyi Ababio III, indicates that members of the community have over the years been self-financing the maintenance of the bridge but its current state demands extra support from authorities. “As you can see, the bridge has become a death trap and needs immediate attention but our efforts over the years have not been given any attention. "This is an important bridge and so we are re-echoing our cry for the bridge to be properly constructed to serve the several communities in this enclave who use the bridge,” he said.
