Another landslide on Peduase-Ayi Mensah road; road could be temporarily closed

Information reaching YEN.com.gh indicates that another landslide has been recorded on the Peduase-Ayi Mensah road.

According to a Facebook post from the Ghana Police Service, it is intended that the road would be closed to prevent casualty and further occurrence as there are marks in the rocks.

However, the Police Highway and National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) are at the scene of the landslide to ascertain the damage caused.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Highway Authority has been forced to close the Peduase-Ayi Mensah road to vehicular traffic following yet another landslide on the stretch.

The Authority, in a statement, said motorists have been advised to use the Dome- Kitase- Berekusu road as an alternative.

“The Ghana Highway Authority announces for the information of motorist that the Accra bound carriageway, the lane from the Peduase lodge to Ayi Mensah on the Accra-Aburi road has been closed to vehicular traffic. The Peduase Lodge to Ayi Mensah section of the road has suffered some slope failures and rockfall which invariably affect the existing halfway. The slope has been assessed to have the potential for further rock falls and slope failures,” the statement said.
