The Minister for Roads and Highways, Mr Kwasi Amoako-Attah, has assured the Paramount Chief of Mampong Traditional Area, Dasebre Osei Bonsu II of the government’s determination to fix the damaged bridge linking the Kumasi-Mampong-Ejura-Yeji trunk road.
He gave this assurance when he visited the site with a team of engineers, to assess the nature of the damage on Tuesday.
The bridge, spanning across river Tatafro on the outskirt of Asante Mampong, caved in a few months ago disrupting vehicular movement.
Briefing the Minister, the Regional Highway Director, Mr Frederick Adu Agyei, said the nature of the river was different at the time the bridge was built.
He further intimated that drawings, designs and other materials such as culverts were ready for the commencement of work on the bridge.
