Commuters from Tarkwa to Takoradi and vice versa had no option than to pass the night on the road due to the road block.
There was heavy rainfall from Friday night to Saturday evening which destroyed part of the Tarkwa Takoradi road.
This caused a heavy vehicular traffic making passengers stranded.
At one of the communities in between that stretch, Essaman, three trucks got stuck on the road, occupying both lanes.
This blocked vehicular movement from Takoradi to Tarkwa and vice versa.
The only option left for some passengers was to sleep in their cars, while others also hung around with the hope that the road would be opened for them to move to their destination.
This continued from Saturday evening to Sunday making movement on the road difficult.
According to one of the road users, Justice Eshun he got to Tarkwa after 8am after young men in the Essaman community managed to create a different road which some of the drivers managed to use it confidently after which they paid a token to the boys.
“That alternative road was very dangerous but with confidence and the guidance of the town boys I managed to sail through”, he said .
