The Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwesi Amoako Atta has indicated that the government is poised to complete repair works on the Tamne bridge that links Garu- Bawku to help ease the pressure on the road and improve trade and business between the two communities.
Activities between the two communities are said to be on a standstill after a gory accident that led to the collapse of the steel Bridge linking the two central business towns.
However, the minister, who later visited the scene to ascertain the extent of damage done on the bridge, disclosed that the ministry will as matters of urgency create an alternative route while the bridge undergoes reconstruction work.
He said the bridge was completely closed down to vehicular traffic and the traveling public to allow for emergency repair works by the engineers department.
He said government was poised to complete the work on time to help improve business and trade between the two communities.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for area, Asore Emmanuel Avoka expressed gratitude to the government for the timely intervention, adding that the assembly would partner to ensure that work on the bridge is completed on time.
