The Ghana Highway Authority wishes to inform the public that an emergency inspection was conducted on the Dzorwulu Footbridge in February 2026, following an incident involving a lowbed truck transporting heavy equipment, which struck the bridge structure.
The inspection carried out by the Bridge Maintenance Unit confirmed that the footbridge sustained minimal structural damage which resulted in a slight shift of the super structure.
While the bridge has not collapsed, the damage poses potential safety risks to both pedestrians and motorists if immediate action is not taken.
As a precautionary measure, the Ghana Highway Authority will implement controlled access to the bridge while urgent repair works are undertaken. Key interventions will include structural repairs to the damaged sections, rehabilitation of the walking surface, and strengthening of safety components such as handrails.
The repair work is scheduled to be completed within a week, from 17th April, 2026 – 24th April, 2026, to minimize disruption to traffic flow.
Additionally, measures are being introduced to prevent future incidents, including the installation of height restriction signage and improved monitoring of over-height vehicles.
The Ghana Highway Authority assures the public of its commitment to maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure and urges all road users to adhere to traffic regulations, especially those relating to vehicle height restrictions.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate the public’s cooperation during this period.
