THE President of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs, Togbega Gabusu VI, has called on the government to construct another road to link northern Ghana with the south.
He suggested that the new road should pass through Akuse in the Eastern Region for heavy duty trucks while lighter vehicles would use the Adomi Bridge.
Togbega Gabusu said this to the Daily Graphic at Hohoe on the recent problem on the Adomi Bridge, and added that the development of the cracks meant that the bridge could no more contain the heavy vehicular load it was used to.
He claimed that even though work had been done on the bridge, it was still not safe.
He was of the view that the bridge should be used exclusively by vehicles below 20 tonnes so that the new road to be constructed should be used by heavier vehicles.
Togbega Gabusu noted that with the discovery of oil, the road might be misused creating further faults on the bridge.
