Danger on Adomi Bridge as portions of road develop pothole

Danger is looming on the Adomi Bridge at Atimpoku in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region as pothole developed on the Juapong stretch.

Apart from this, there are cracks on some portions of the road which could damage the world-renowned bridge if not worked on.

This came to light when Onua News Team visited the Adomi Bridge.

It was observed that the drivers who are joining the bridge from the Juapong stretch veer off into the lane of oncoming vehicles as they try dodging the pothole and this could lead to head-on collision.

Some of the drivers who ply the road acknowledged the danger that pothole poses to them.

They explained that the pothole has been there for years but no one is attending to it.

The Asuogyaman District Chief Executive, Samuel Kwame Agyekum, when contacted explained that even though the bridge is not under his jurisdiction, the Assembly has taken the matter up.

He explained that the Adomi Bridge is under the Ghana Highway Authority but the Assembly has written to them to fix the pothole.

Mr. Agyekum admitted that he has not heard anything from the Eastern Regional Highways and would therefore follow up to ensure the pothole is fixed.
