Collapsed Akrofu–Sokode Bridge Cuts Off Communities
Commuters and residents of Akrofu and Sokode Gbogame in the Ho Municipality are stranded following the collapse of a key bridge linking the two communities, severely disrupting transportation and economic activities in the area.
The damaged bridge, which served as the main route for residents, farmers, and traders between Akrofu Agove, Kpeve, Ho, Hlefi and Sokode Gbogame, caved in several months ago.
Although emergency work began to replace the collapsed section with a culvert, construction has since stalled, leaving the road unsafe and virtually impassable.
A visit to the site by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) revealed that the half-finished culvert has worsened travel conditions, forcing drivers to avoid the route.
