Tiko Airport bridge collapses

By Boris Esono in Buea
Collapsed bridge that leads to Tiko Airport
The bridge separating the Tiko Airport from the main highway passing through Tiko town has collapsed. It collapsed on Wednesday 5 October 2016. No injuries were recorded in the crash. Sources in Tiko say movements into and out of the airport quarters have been temporarily interupted. Businesses have also been negatively affected.   For now a barricade has been placed at the entrance to the bridge to prevent persons from falling into the steep valley that underlies the bridge.

                Until press time yesterday no official statement had come from the authorities about measures to reinstate movements in the short term. Tiko Airport was an international airport in the then British Southern Cameroons. But it is now in ruins.
