Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has inspected ongoing construction work on four major bridges in the Savanna and Northern Regions.

The bridges are located at Buipe, Yapei, Daboya, and Nawunu, and form part of a strategic initiative to enhance connectivity in northern Ghana.

Mr Agbodza, accompanied by his Deputy Minister Alhassan Suhuyini and a team of engineers, also visited the Binjia-Fufulso road and Damango town roads projects to assess progress.

The inspection forms part of his broader effort to monitor critical infrastructure developments across the country.

Speaking to the media after touring the Buipe and Yapei bridges, the Minister emphasised the significance of the projects to Ghana’s transport network.

He noted that the bridges are crucial for the movement of goods and people between the Northern and Southern Regions and also serve as key transit routes for neighbouring landlocked countries.

He expressed satisfaction with the pace of work and assured local chiefs and residents of government’s commitment to completing the bridges.

The inspection forms part of a four-day working tour across the Northern, North East, Savannah, Upper East, and Upper West Regions.

During the tour, the Minister is expected to pay a courtesy call on the Yaa Naa and inspect major road infrastructure, including the Sawla-Wa road, Wa-Bolgatanga-Tamale road, Nalerigu-Tamale road, Wapuli Bridge, Tamale-Yendi-Tatale road, and the Tamale Ring Roads.
