Brilio.net - Generally, bridges are built using sturdy materials to ensure safety and stability. A strong bridge structure is needed to be able to withstand the weight of pedestrians and passing vehicles.
However, this is different from the bridge in one of the villages in Padang which only uses wooden slats. In the TikTok upload @ ayeaye200222 which went viral on social media, it shows an alternative bridge created by local residents to access the highway to be closer.
" The moment I crossed the Sirotolmustaqim Bridge in the world ," is the title of the TikTok video.

In the upload, a woman is seen carrying her baby while crossing a bridge near her house. The condition of the bridge is only a wooden bar that is pinned to the cold wall of the house. Meanwhile, under the bridge there is a gutter that is filled with water.
Although the gutter is not too deep, the moment of crossing this bridge has garnered many comments from netizens. Not a few are worried that the wooden bridge that is so far away is quite dangerous to cross. Especially the woman who crossed the bridge while carrying her child.
It is not surprising that in his content he mentioned crossing the 'shiratal mustaqim' bridge because if you are not careful you could fall into the gutter.

" The local RT and RW heads should coordinate and the local residents should work together to repair the road. After all, the funds are not much for the common good ," @Emoel Adrian
" Usually it's a shortcut ," @nenengyuliati833

The locals deliberately built the bridge to make access to the highway faster. According to him, so far residents who pass through the road are safe. Even for people who are used to crossing the bridge, it is much easier than having to take a detour.
He further explained that the wooden bridge that was at a distance was strong enough for residents to pass. In addition, the water flow in the gutter does not flow every day so it is still safe for residents to pass.
