Atimpoku-Asikuma road reopens after severe flooding

The Ministry of Roads and Highways has reopened the Atimpoku-Asikuma road after severe flooding on June 29, 2024.

A viral video showed part of the road near a police barrier collapsing due to the flood.

An assessment by the Ghana Highway Authority found the bridge over the Fodoga River intact but revealed 120 meters of the road's surface damaged.

The Ministry plans emergency repairs and will collaborate with the Ghana Hydrological Authority to improve river flow.

Efforts to address national road network challenges are ongoing, with a call for cooperation from road users during improvement works.
