Accra:Séguénéga The people of Sanspèlga, a resettled village near Séguénéga, have embarked on constructing a bridge to enhance access to their village. The construction, which began on November 9, is funded by the villagers themselves and follows the Faso Mêbo style.

According to Burkina Information Agency, local contractors from the municipality will carry out the construction. The bridge is designed to be 12 meters long, 4.50 meters wide, and 3.80 meters high.

Tasséré Ouédraogo, a village resident, emphasized the necessity of the bridge, particularly during the rainy season when reaching the main town of the commune becomes challenging. He urged support from municipal authorities and called for community mobilization.

Hamidou Ouédraogo, representing the village's CVD, noted that the initial phase involved gathering aggregates and sand, facilitated by the FDS and local population efforts. Mahama Gazambé highlighted the civic mobilization that will ensure the project's completion, replacing a previously broken wooden bridge.

Local authority Yacouba Guiro visited the construction site, commending the workers and the community for their initiative. The project aligns with Burkina Faso's President's call for integrity and patriotism, prompting authorities to request further involvement from all community members.
