Disaster looms as N1 Achimota bridge falls apart

A major disaster is looming on the George Walker Bush Highway popularly known as N1 Highway as one of the footbridges over the four lane road is falling apart.

The Abofu footbridge just after Achimota junction on Ghana’s biggest highway which was officially opened to motorists in February 2012, has developed serious cracks and could fall off anytime soon.

Pavement blocks used in constructing the bridge are seen coming out as the metal used to hold the railings at the top of the bridge has somehow separated leaving a gaping hole in the bridge.

Even though the columns holding the bridge still appear strong, several parts of the bridge appear weak could collapse on any of the hundreds of vehicles that ply the road daily.

Residents say they have abandoned the bridge because it is scary and not safe for human usage.
