Lower Volta Bridge
The Lower Volta Bridge also known as Sogakope Bridge is 650 meters bridge on the N1 highway (Aflao — Accra) that connects Sogakope to Sokpoe over the Volta River.[1]
History
The bridge was constructed between January 1965 — January 1967 by two German contractors.[1]
In 2009 the bridge was described as a death trap due to damages.[1] There was also an appeal in 2013 by the residents of Sogakope to Ghana Highways Authority to repair the rusting expansion and contraction joints.[2]
