Adome Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Asuogyaman District, Ghana.

The Adome Bridge spans 805 feet across the Volta River with a silver latticed steel crescent arch rising 158 feet above the hinges.

Constructed in 1957 under the direction of William Brown from Freeman Fox & Partners, the bridge marked Ghana's first permanent crossing over the Volta River.

The bridge design appears on Ghanaian stamps and currency, representing a national symbol of engineering excellence and regional interconnection.

The structure carries National Route N2, providing primary road access between the Eastern Region and Volta Region for commercial and passenger transportation.

The bridge features a two-hinged hybrid arch suspension system with vertical cable stays connecting the roadbed to the main arch structure.
