Lower Volta Bridge


The Lower Volta Bridge also known as Sogakope Bridge is 650 meters bridge on the N1 highway (AflaoAccra) that connects Sogakope to Sokpoe over the Volta River.

The bridge was constructed between January 1965 — January 1967 by two German contractors.

In 2009 the bridge was described as a death trap due to damages. There was also an appeal in 2013 by the residents of Sogakope to Ghana Highways Authority to repair the rusting expansion and contraction joints.
