The damaged wall of the Menuso Bridge, which was hit by a cargo vehicle, has been repaired, restoring safety and ease of movement for motorists and pedestrians in the area.
Mr Isaac Dzapaye, Assemblyman for the Menuso Electoral Area, confirmed the development in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Friday, January 2.
He explained that the damage was caused by a cargo truck with registration number GR 2635 V, and commended the driver, Mr Abukari Abdul-Rahaman, for taking responsibility for the incident.
According to Mr Dzapaye, the driver promptly provided the required logistics and materials to facilitate the repair works, ensuring that the bridge was fixed without delay and preventing further deterioration.
Mr Kwasi Tameklo, the electrical welder who carried out the repairs, told GNA that materials used for the work cost approximately GH¢700.00.
He said the repairs were completed to standard and assured residents and road users that the restored wall posed no danger.
Mr Tameklo added that the earlier damage had not compromised the structural integrity of the bridge, explaining that the affected section had been properly reinforced.
Residents of Menuso and surrounding communities expressed relief at the swift restoration of the bridge wall, noting that it serves as a critical link for commuters and traders in the area.
