The River Oti Ferry started moving again after workers fixed major problems that left travelers stuck for days. Volta Lake Transport Company runs the ferry service that broke down because of technical issues. Hundreds of vehicles and people got trapped on both sides of the water without any way to cross. Cargo trucks lined up for miles as drivers waited around the clock to continue their trips. The ferry breakdown created chaos for everyone trying to move goods and people through Krachi East Municipality.
People cheered when the pontoon boat finally returned to service and began carrying vehicles across the river again. Travelers packed up their belongings and prepared to finish journeys that had been delayed for hours. Truck drivers fired up their engines and joined the long lines waiting to board the ferry. The working ferry gave everyone hope that normal travel could resume after the difficult waiting period. Many passengers felt relieved that they could finally reach their destinations.
Local people told Ghana News Agency reporters that the government needs to build a real bridge over the river. They believe a permanent bridge would stop these dangerous situations from happening again. Passengers said the current ferry system puts lives at risk when breakdowns occur. A solid bridge would make travel faster and help businesses move their products more easily. Community members hope leaders will listen to their concerns and start building a bridge soon.
