Rehabilitation work on the Adomi Bridge is taking shape with the completion of two out of the three components. The two components include the design, fabrication of steel slabs and the installation of 10 decks, representing 51 per cent of work to be done on the entire project.

Scheduled to be completed by October next year, the rehabilitation works involve the replacement of the old decks and the installation of 23 new decks together with the hanger cables.

The Project Manager at the construction site, Dr Paul Hermann said this when the Minister of Transport, Mrs Dzifa Attivor, toured the project site last Friday.

Dr Hermann indicated that an inspection trolley would also be installed under the bridge for the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) to carry out inspection and maintenance work.

He said the final stage would involve sealing, gluing and asphalting of the surface after which vehicles would be allowed to drive on it.

Dr Hermann said 55 local workers comprising welders, fitters and other auxiliary workers were employed on the project.

He said 10 experts were also brought from Europe to train the local artisans who would be working on the project.
