The two bridges have been essential to economic activities between the northern Ghana and the rest of the country but engineers say they are so weak to the extent that they could collapse anytime soon.
The Roads Minister after a routine inspection on Wednesday ordered repair works to begin immediately.
The bridges were constructed some years ago but they have not undergone major maintenance works.
Their closure now means that heavy-duty articulated vehicles that cart foodstuffs from Burkina Faso and the northern parts of Ghana to the south and other areas will not be able to carry out their business.
