DEEP DITCH ON ADUKROM-ASENEMA ROAD DANGEROUS (PAGE 22)

A DEEP ditch created on a section of the Adukrom-Asenema road in the Akuapem North District of the Eastern Region is posing a serious threat to motorists who ply the road.
The gully, caused by a heavy flow of water from the mountains after a prolonged downpour last week, has made the curvy road portion of the road risky for driving, especially in the night.
The situation is very precarious as there are no signs to warn oncoming vehicles to negotiate the curve with caution to prevent any accident.
Since the recent landslide at Asenema, a farming village, no warning signs had been put in place to warn motorists to be alert, while the affected portion of the road has not been cordoned off.
These came to light when the Daily Graphic visited the farming community on Tuesday, six days after the landslide disaster.
The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) is, therefore, been called upon to immediately place warning signs along the affected portion of the road, while efforts are being made to seal the gully.
