Ashaiman Assembly Closes Major Roads After Bridge Collapses Following Heavy Rainfall

The Ashaiman Municipal Assembly has temporarily closed two major road sections following the collapse of two bridges after heavy rainfall swept through parts of the municipality. The affected roads include the route linking Borla Junction to Community 22 Washing Bay and the stretch connecting Community 22 to Community 22 Annex. Both roads have been rendered inaccessible after the bridges serving those areas gave way due to severe erosion caused by the downpour.

Joseph Nelson, has disclosed that nine critical sections of the Asem-asa N1 Highway, part of the vital Takoradi–Accra road, require urgent provisional maintenance to prevent further deterioration and safeguard commuters. According to the Minister, assessments conducted by the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) revealed that these parts of the highway have become increasingly hazardous for both motorists and pedestrians. “This is an extremely important road corridor,” he emphasized. “When you look at its connection from Accra to Elubo, and consider the volume of traffic from Côte d’Ivoire through to Accra, it is a major lifeline for both domestic and international trade. Unfortunately, the section from Cape Coast to our end is in a deplorable state.” Minister Nelson noted that he has received multiple reports from the GHA regarding the road’s poor condition, which includes severe potholes […]
