Sunyani East MCE breaks ground for new Abesim bridge

Sunyani East Municipal Chief Executive(MCE), Mr Vincent Antwi Adjei has officially cut the sod for the construction of a new bridge at Abesim in the Sunyani Municipality of the Bono Region.
Mr. Antwi Adjei explained that the bridge project is part of the President’s Secondary City Support Initiative, which provides targeted funding to improve local infrastructure.
Once completed, the bridge will connect Abesim with Ahenfoseiye and surrounding villages, significantly easing travel for residents and boosting local commerce.
“This bridge will open up economic opportunities by facilitating the movement of people and goods,” the MCE said at the ceremony.
“It is our hope that improved accessibility will spur trade and enhance livelihoods across the municipality.”
The government of Ghana is financing the project in partnership with the World Bank, underlining a shared commitment to regional development.
Work is expected to begin immediately, with local contractors mobilising equipment and materials to the site.
Community members who spoke to CTV and Accra FM welcomed the announcement, praising both the Municipal Assembly and the central government for addressing a longstanding bottleneck.
“This bridge has been needed for years,” one resident remarked. “We’re grateful that travel will soon be safer and faster.”
Construction is scheduled to take place over the next several months, with the Municipal Assembly pledging regular updates to ensure timely completion and quality workmanship.
