The Ivule Bridge, which connects Bialla town and the provincial capital, Kimbe, was washed away by flood last weekend following continuous rainfall.
Village elder Philip Kawagale said since the first destruction of the bridge in 1985, no permanent bridge was built.
He said their children will be affected as they will not be attending schools in Bialla.
Kawagale also raised concerns that the contractors contracted by the Department of Works to build the bridge are always leaving the villagers out in decision-making.
