Motorists using the south-bound lane of the Aburi to Accra road were left stranded Friday afternoon after a heavy downpour caused a landslide.

The road is home to the Aburi Mountain which is one of Ghana’s highest topographies and a major tourist destination.
Eyewitnesses say police and officials of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) had to create a diversion for traffic to flow smoothly.

The lane was closed for more than a year for repair works after falling rocks left it unmotorable.

When we talk about people not building on the Aburi mountains they take it as a joke. Without the trees the rocks and mud will continue to fall. #letskeepaburisafe. pic.twitter.com/JmaPPCrISt
