Adomi-Brücke

Die Adomi-Brücke (Englisch: Adomi Bridge, früher auch Volta Bridge) ist eine Straßenbrücke über den Volta in Ghana. Sie steht etwa 10 km unterhalb des Akosombo-Staudamms, der den Volta-Stausee aufstaut, in der Nähe der Distrikthauptstadt Atimpoku im Asuogyaman District in der Eastern Region. Sie ist ein Teil der Tema-Jasikan Road (N2), die die Verbindung von Accra über Tema zu den Landesteilen östlich des Volta-Stausees herstellt, und damit eine der wichtigsten Verkehrsverbindungen zwischen den beiden Seiten des Volta. Die Adomi-Brücke hat zwei Fahrspuren sowie zwei Gehwege. Sie ist mit einer Spannweite von 245,36 m (805 ft) und einer gesamten Länge von 336 m die längste Brücke des Landes. Die zweigelenkige Stahl-Bogenbrücke mit untenliegender Fahrbahn hat einen etwa 60 m hohen Bogen aus einer Fachwerkkonstruktion, von dem die Fahrbahnplatte mit Seilen abgehängt ist. Der Bau der von Freeman, Fox & Partners (Gilbert Roberts, William Bronw) in Zusammenarbeit mit Sir William Halcrow and Partners geplanten Brücke begann noch vor der Unabhängigkeit Ghanas im Jahr 1956 unter britischer Kolonialherrschaft. Sie wurde 1957 nach der Unabhängigkeitserklärung fertiggestellt und von Premierminister Kwame Nkrumah eröffnet. Die Brücke war ursprünglich für deutlich größere Lasten geplant als nach British Standards erforderlich. Dennoch zeigten sich 2008, also nach über 50 Jahren, einige Ermüdungsbrüche. 2011 wurde eine eingehende Untersuchung durchgeführt, worauf die Ghana Highway Authority mit Hilfe eines österreichischen Kredits über € 12,9 Millionen eine umfassende Sanierung der einsturzgefährdeten Brücke beauftragte, bei der das Fahrbahndeck und die Hängeseile vollständig erneuert werden sollen. Die 30 Monate dauernden Sanierungsmaßnahmen sollten nach ersten Informationen schon 2012 beginnen und wurden schließlich für Juni 2013 angekündigt. Die Brücke musste dabei voll gesperrt werden. Nach der Durchführung der Arbeiten wurde die Brücke am 19. Dezember 2015 von Präsident John Dramani Mahama wiedereröffnet.

Labone Senior High School

Labone Senior High School (popularly known as L-A Bone) is a public senior high school located in Labone in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It is noted for its success in the National Science and Maths Quiz, athletics, music and cultural activities. History In 1949, six leaders of Ghana saw the need to establish an educational institution for young people staying around Osu and La. A private school was established in the Ako Adjei Area. At independence, the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, realized that to accelerate the country's development, educational facilities must be widespread. The Ghana Educational Trust was instituted and was charged with the construction of school buildings throughout the country, including Labone. The school was relocated to the present site. In 2024, the school celebrated its 75th anniversary. In 2025, a fire destroyed dormitories at the school. School heads S. Gyasi Nimako (1961) R. Lomo Jones.1961 (196) E.

Lower Volta Bridge

The Lower Volta Bridge (French: Pont de la basse Volta), also known as Sogakope Bridge (French: Pont de Sogakope), is a 650 meter long bridge on the N1 highway (Aflao — Accra) that connects Sogakope to Sokpoe over the Volta River. History The bridge was constructed between January 1965 and January 1967 by two German contractors. Over the decades, the bridge suffered from poor maintenance and increasing traffic, especially heavy trucks, making it dangerous for drivers. By 2009, locals were already calling it a "death trap," with concerns over rusting joints and deteriorating sealants. In 2013, there was also an appeal by the residents of Sogakope to Ghana Highways Authority to repair the rusting expansion and contraction joints. Despite calls for repairs, only minor fixes were made, and the bridge's structural integrity continued to decline. In 2018, the government promised repairs, but reports in 2019 showed ongoing accidents, with motorcyclists being the primary victims. After a local politician's murder in 2020, protests erupted, with residents blocking the bridge. Ghana Government is planning to build a new cable-stayed bridge (New Volta Bridge) to be started in 2021. References
Shai-Wildtierreservat

Das Shai-Wildtierreservat (englisch Shai Hills Game Production Reserve) ist ein Tierreservat in Ghana. Das Reservat befindet sich im Süden des Landes, etwa 50 Kilometer (Luftlinie) nordöstlich der Hauptstadt Accra in der Greater Accra Region. Beschreibung Shai wurde 1971 gegründet, es liegt in einer markanten Hügellandschaft – den Shai Hills – in der Savanne und besitzt eine Größe von 4860 Hektar. Erwähnenswert sind einige Höhlen, die auch von archäologischer Bedeutung sind. Im Reservat finden sich 31 Säugetierarten, 13 verschiedene Reptilienarten und 175 Vogelarten. Die Moorantilope (Kobus kob) ist hierbei besonders erwähnenswert, da sie von den Shai, einer Ethnie, die vor 100 Jahren vertrieben wurde, als heiliges Tier angesehen wurden. Archäologische Funde im Freiland und den bereits erwähnten Höhlen weisen frühe Siedlungsplätze des Menschen und inzwischen in der Region verschwundene Tierarten – beispielsweise Büffel nach.

Shai Hills Resource Reserve

Shai Hills Resource Reserve is a resource reserve located in Doryumu in the Shai Osudoku District all in the Greater Accra Region of southern Ghana. It lies along the Tema-Akosombo Highway some 57 km from Accra. History The protected area was home to the Shai people before they were ejected by the British in 1892. Remains of Shai people's works can still be found in the reserve. The reserve was established in 1962 with area of 47 km2 (18 sq mi) which was later extended to 51 km2 (20 sq mi) in 1973. It was made a Game Production Reserve in 1971. Environment The Shai Hills Resource Reserve is covered with grassland and low dry forest vegetation. There are nearly 400 plant species spread on the five separate hills at the Shai Hills Resource Reserve. Wildlife There are numerous animals. Bird species include violet turaco, paradise flycatcher, green turaco, red-billed hornbill, yellow-fronted tinkerbird, guineafowl and red-necked buzzard.The reserve has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of many bird species. Othe animals present include antelopes, bats, baboons, cats, duiker, kobs, green monkeys, monitor lizards, African python, royal python and zebras. Zebras are not native to Ghana, and the ones in the reserve are imports from South Africa. Guides employed at the reserve reported (in September 2024) that five zebras had been born to date in the park, and some of those now live in Ghanaian zoos. Access Visitors can visit the attractive region of hilly rocks and grassy plains in the reserve all year round. Touring the reserve during the early rainy season (May through July) could be difficult because of rough road conditions. Popular activities include game viewing, bird watching, nature walking, and rock-climbing. Threats The reserve is bedeviled with a lot of threats such as danger from speeding vehicles because some of the baboons find their way to the highway. The reserve is also situated close to a stone quarry and this also affects the day-to-day activities of the park. Recreation The area is of the best tourism hubs in Ghana. It has been a host to recreational activities such as Picnics, and in 2017 hosted the National Biking & Abseil Festival.

ТЕС Тема

ТЕС Тема — теплова електростанція в Гані, розташована у промисловій зоні порту Тема, котрий знаходиться безпосередньо на схід від столиці країни Аккри. Ще у 1965 році в Гані спорудили дуже потужну (як для цього регіону) гідроелектростанцію Акосомбо (понад 1 ГВт). Проте у 2000-х роках зростання енергоспоживання змусило звернутись до розвитку теплової генерації, чому зокрема сприяв проект Західно-Африканського газопроводу, який зробив можливим надходження блакитного палива з Нігерії. При цьому у промисловій зоні Тема виник цілий кластер ТЕС, однією з яких є станція державної агенції Volta River Authority. Важливо відзначити, що певні генеруючі потужності вона зводила сама, тоді як інші створювались приватними інвесторами з наступною передачею VRA. Так, у 2007 році гірничодобувні компанії Newmont Ghana Limited, Goldfields Ghana, Anglogold-Ashanti та Golden Star Resources, котрі страждали від лімітування енергопостачання, спорудили в Тема станцію Mines Reserve Plant (MRP або VRA 1), що складалась із кількох встановлених на роботу у відкритому циклі турбін компанії Pratt & Whitney: однієї FT4C-3 TwinPac потужністю 45,5 МВт, однієї 1FT-C-3 потужністю 23 МВт та однієї FT4A-11 з показником у 11 МВт. В наступному році на площадці ТЕС запустили встановлену на роботу у відкритому циклі газову турбіну General Electric типу 9171E потужністю 110 МВт (еталонна ISO-потужність, яка не враховує кліматичні умови, становить 126 МВт). Цей об'єкт носить назву TT1PP (Teme Thermal 1 Power Plant), а разом з розташованою поряд ТЕС CENIT (належить приватному інвестору) — VRA 2. У тому ж 2008-му тут розмістили першу чергу дизель-генераторної станції потужністю 49,5 МВт (TT2PP), обладнання якої доставили зі Сполучених Штатів за допомогою Ан-124. В 2012-му її доповнили ще однією чергою потужністю 20 МВт. Всього було встановлено 54 генератори Caterpillar типу 3516B. Крім того, поряд змонтовано шість газових турбін компанії Siemens загальною потужністю 70 МВт — станція VRA 3, проте станом на січень 2018-го остання не рахувалась серед генеруючих потужностей країни. Варто також відзначити, що введення Західно-Африканського газопроводу відбулось на кілька років пізніше проти первісних планів — у 2010-му, та й після цього траплялись тривалі перебої в постачанні (в той період саботаж на об'єктах нафтогазової сфери у вихідній точці об'єкту — Нігерії — був звичайним явищем, а сама нігерійська електроенергетика сильно страждала від нестачі палива). Як наслідок, ТЕС Тема регулярно працювала на більш дорогих нафтопродуктах. Примітки
