Residents of the Juji community in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State have raised fresh concerns over the abandonment of a bridge project linking the town to Ungwan Gimbiya, warning that the situation has worsened with the onset of the rainy season.
The bridge, which has remained incomplete for several years, is now severely affected by erosion and stagnant floodwaters, leaving it nearly impassable and posing serious risks to residents.
Speaking with reporters, locals described how heavy rainfall often renders the route unusable, disrupting daily life.
“Each time it rains, children can’t get to school, and many parents are unable to leave for work,” a resident said. “We are cut off completely. The waterlogged path is dangerous to cross.”
Community members say the abandoned infrastructure has left them stranded and exposed, especially schoolchildren and traders who rely on the route.
They are calling on the Kaduna State Government and the Kaduna State Roads Agency, KADRA, to urgently resume and complete the project.
“This is no longer a minor complaint, it’s affecting our survival,” one resident added.
