Motorists travelling to Wa have been advised to use the Sawla Fufulso road to connect to Techiman and Kintampo Road to avoid being stranded at Bole.
Several commuters were over the weekend stranded along the Wa-Bole-Bamboi highway after portions of the road was washed away by water.
A statement issued by the Ghana Highway Authority on Sunday (17 September ) said: “The Ministry of Roads and Highways acting through the Ghana Highway Authority, regrets to inform the general public that a significant washout has occurred at Doli in the Bole District, 25km away from Sawla on the N12.”
“Our preliminary investigations suggest that the washout was caused by a broken dam by the side of the road,” the statement added.
Alternative route
“Motorists from Wa and its surroundings traveling to the South are advised to turn off at Sawla and use the Sawla – Fufulso Road to connect the N10 (Techiman -Kintampo Road), Motorists going to Wa from the South, should use the Techiman- Kintampo Road and turn off at Fufulso junction and use the Fufulso -Sawla Road to Sawla and subsequently to Wa and beyond,” it said.
Work
The Ghana Highway Authority says its engineers are working to address the problem within the shortest possible time.
“Motorists from Wenchi to Wa are to use the new Longoro to Kintampo Road on the N10. We assure you that our engineers and technical team are working diligently to address the situationas quickly as practicable,” it said.
