Volivo Bridge: Three Japanese firms submit joint construction bid
A consortium of three Japanese construction firms has submitted a joint bid for the construction of the Volivo Bridge, a major infrastructure project expected to span the Volta River along the Eastern Corridor Road network.
The Volivo Bridge over the Volta River is set to commence construction in early 2027, according to Roads and Highways Minister Governs Kwame Agbodza. The bridge aims to enhance transportation, boost trade, and improve access to essential services on both sides of the river. The Ghana-Japan partnership is driving the project, with a new bidding process initiated on November 5 to select a contractor.
An evaluation team has been established to review submissions, with the process slated to conclude within seven days. Minister Agbodza expressed confidence that the chosen contractor would receive full government backing to execute the construction. The minister emphasized the significance of the bridge in strengthening Ghana-Japan relations, calling it a tangible symbol of the cordial and progressive relationship between the two nations.
Once completed, the Volivo Bridge is expected to facilitate smoother movement of people and goods across the Volta River, strengthen connections between surrounding communities, and provide better opportunities for commercial activities.
