This technical report presents a chronological account of key technical submissions, stakeholder engagements, site visits, construction progress, and inspection outcomes related to the construction of the bridge over the Susu Lagoon. The report covers activities undertaken between January and June 2025, highlighting the technical status of the works in relation to approved designs and specifications.
Submission of Technical Documents
On 23 January 2025, Defaz Engineering Limited formally submitted key technical documents to the Hydrological Authority (HYDRO) for review and records. The submissions included the geotechnical investigation report, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis report, static calculations, as well as bridge foundation plans and sectional drawings. These documents formed the basis for validating the structural integrity and hydraulic adequacy of the proposed bridge works.
Community Appeal and Institutional Response
Following concerns raised by the local community, HYDRO officially wrote to the contractor on 29 January 2025, acknowledging and accepting the community’s appeal for the construction of the bridge over the Susu Lagoon. This intervention was aimed at addressing access challenges and improving connectivity within the community.
Drawing Updates and January Site Activities
On 05 February 2025, the contractor submitted updated drawings to reflect required revisions. A site visit was also undertaken as part of the January Monthly Progress Report. During this period, keys to the newly constructed market facility were officially handed over to the Coordinating Director of the Keta East Municipal Assembly (KEEMA). However, construction activities experienced delays as the community insisted on the provision of a new bridge before permitting the contractor’s crane to pass through the community. This restriction temporarily delayed the commencement of bridge construction works over the Susu Lagoon.
Measurement and Near Completion Status
A measurement exercise conducted on 10 April 2025 indicated that the works were approximately 99% complete. At this stage, maintenance activities were ongoing for approved additional works, which included the construction of associated installations, provision of access to the fish market from the bridge, and additional riverbank protection measures to enhance durability and safety.
June Site Inspection and Structural Assessment
A comprehensive site visit was conducted on 08 June 2025 to assess the structural and construction status of the bridge works. Observations from the inspection confirmed that all piers had been successfully constructed and aligned with the approved structural design requirements. All prefabricated concrete slabs had been fixed in their designated positions, and the laying of the concrete slab on the bridge deck had been completed.
Additionally, abutment bases on both the right and left sides of the bridge had been cast and subsequently backfilled with lateritic material to ensure stability. The construction of headwalls was also completed in accordance with the project specifications. During the inspection, the contractor was instructed to proceed with the remaining works on Groynes Nos. 2–5, with specific emphasis on reinforcing and repairing the head sections to ensure compliance with design and coastal protection requirements.
Based on site inspections and progress assessments, the Susu Lagoon Bridge Project has largely achieved its construction objectives and complies with approved structural and hydraulic designs. Outstanding works are limited to minor associated installations and groyne improvements, which have been duly communicated to the contractor for completion. The project is therefore considered to be at an advanced stage, nearing full completion, subject to final inspections and rectification of identified minor works.
