VIDEO: Bosomtwe Road Conditions Spark Concerns Over Dust Pollution

Recent videos captured on the Bosomtwe road (from Abidjan Nkwanta to Lake Bosomtwe) has been making waves on social media, drawing attention to the severe dust pollution affecting the area. The footages vividly showcase vehicles navigating through thick clouds of dust, raising concerns about health risks and the comfort of commuters who rely on this route daily.

The videos begin with a panoramic view of the road, revealing a dusty stretch that intensifies with each passing vehicle. Drivers are seen slowing down and covering their windows to avoid inhaling the thick layers of dust that billow into the air. Pedestrians and roadside residents are not spared, as dust settles heavily on homes and shops along the roadside.

Local residents have expressed their frustrations, emphasizing the health implications of constant dust exposure, including respiratory issues and eye irritation. Many have called for immediate intervention, urging local authorities to either improve the road’s surface or implement regular watering to reduce dust levels.

The Bosomtwe road was initially being worked on by Kofi Job Construction Ltd, a well-known local contractor. However, reports from residents and the current state of the road suggest that construction activities have stalled for some time now, with no visible progress being made. The lack of ongoing work has only exacerbated the dust problem, leaving communities along the road exposed to daily clouds of harmful dust particles.

The Bosomtwe road serves as a critical connection for several communities, making its maintenance not just a matter of convenience but also of public health. Calls for action are growing louder, with many urging the government and the construction company to resume work promptly to address the dust pollution and improve travel conditions.
