The Ministry of Roads and Highways has declared that the Doli Bridge would be temporarily accessible to traffic.
The bridge, which connects the Upper West Region to the southern portion of Ghana, washed away on Sunday, September 17, 2023, following hours of severe rain.
On September 19, 2023, Minister of Roads and Highways Kwesi Amoako-Attah inspected the broken bridge and informed the people that it would be fixed within a week.
Due to the damage to the Doli Bridge, commuters between the southern and upper regions of Ghana had to detour through Sawla-Fufulso and Techiman to reach their destination.
Despite the fact that boulders and equipment had been delivered to the site, construction on the bridge was slow to begin.
Videos of the bridge’s temporary opening were shared on the Ministry of Roads and Highways’ X (Twitter) account.
