A contractor’s diversion of the Ayensu River during work on the Kasoa-Cape Coast Highway caused the main Accra-Winneba Highway to cave in, greatly impeding the flow of vehicular traffic.
On Thursday morning, strong floodwaters from the Ayensu River stranded commuters by creating a big gulley across the main highway.
Frustrated commuters called for urgent measures to restore the broken road and demanded sanctions against the contractor.
This diversion has affected a bridge spanning the Ayensu River, which originates in the Eastern Region, flows across the Accra-Cape Coast Highway at Gomoa Okyereko in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.
