Workers from the Bridge Maintenance Unit of the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) last Saturday started replacing the bolts holding the corrugated metals in the tunnel that connects Tema Community 18 to Borteyman.

So we are going to fix them. This particular one is the most serious one, the others are manageable. “It will take about two weeks for us to finish this exercise.
