Motorists from Wa and its surroundings traveling to the South are advised to turn off at Sawla and use the Sawla – Fufulso Road to connect the N10 (Techiman -Kintampo Road).

Motorists going to Wa from the South, should use the Techiman- Kintampo Road and turn off at Fufulso junction and use the Fufulso -Sawla Road to Sawla and subsequently to Wa and beyond.

Motorists from Wenchi to Wa are to use the new Longoro to Kintampo Road on the N10.
We assure you that our engineers and technical team are working diligently to address the situation as quickly as practicable.

We greatly appreciate your patience as we work towards ensuring your safety and the restoration of normal traffic flow.
