GARID project delaying rehabilitation of Kaneshie footbridges – AMA Mayor

Speaking on Channel One TV on Monday, August 3, Mr Allotey said the Assembly was deliberately waiting for the drainage project to be completed before commencing work on the footbridges to avoid unnecessary expenditure.

He said the GARID project will require the temporary closure of one section of the road to facilitate drainage works, with traffic from Mallam towards Kaneshie expected to use the opposite carriageway during the construction period.

According to the Mayor, the footbridges form part of a wider corridor affected by the GARID drainage project, making it impractical for the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) to undertake repairs while major construction activities are still underway.
