Motorists who use the Adomi bridge to connect to Accra and other parts of the country will soon heave a sigh of relief, when President Mahama reopens the rehabilitated bridge situated at Atimpoku in the eastern region to vehicular traffic this weekend.
This follows the completion of an 18 months extensive rehabilitation works by the Austrian construction and Engineering firm, Bilfinger MCE GmbH on the 335metre bridge, spanning across the Volta river.
The bridge which connects the Volta region to other parts of the country through the eastern region, was closed down in March 2014, for its first major rehabilitation after it was commissioned over five decades ago.
The closure created a lot of inconvenience to motorists and travelers moving from the central and northern parts of the Volta region to the national capital, Accra, as they spent long hours waiting to cross the river with the two ferries provided by the Ghana Highway Authority at Senchi.
