Parliament has already approved a ¥11,249,000,000 loan agreement for the construction of the bridge.

The loan agreement is between the Ghana government and the government of Japan, acting through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The approval of the agreement followed the submission of the report of the Finance Committee of Parliament, which had recommended the approval of the facility.

It would have three spans - two outer spans of 96m and a middle span of 280m. There will also be towers of 51.64m high and 26.4m wide at the base.

Sidewalks, a bicycle lane and railings and a rest stop will also be part of the project.

The Volivo Bridge will be 200m longer than Adomi bridge.
