Emergency maintenance works have begun on the damaged bridge over the Gbemi Stream on the Accra-Tema Motorway near the Ashaiman Underpass.
The works, being carried out by the Bridge Maintenance Unit of the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA), are meant to put the bridge in good shape for use by motorists.
The works, which will take six weeks to complete, involve the erection of a gabion wall and a retaining wall made of stacked stone-filled gabions tied together with wires to replace the wing walls which have been washed away due to erosion.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic yesterday, the Project Manager, Alhaji Ameenu Abubakar, said an observation of the damaged bridge had revealed that the apron had partly collapsed.
