History
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.
