Some trees along the Suhyen to Tafo main road were identified as dangerous and posing serious threats to moving vehicles, pedestrians, and residents living close to the affected areas, especially during this rainy season.
These trees were identified through the periodic monitoring of New Juaben North Municipal NADMO,
Due to the possible risk of accidents and destruction, immediate action became necessary.
On Friday, 22nd May 2026, The Operation team of NADMO,spearheaded by the Municipal Director Mr Bright Asare Ofosu, in collaboration with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, Assembly Member ,Hon. Sarpong Kumankumah and his Unit Committee Members, organized an operation to cut down the dangerous trees.
To ensure the successful execution of the exercise, Chainsaw Operators were deployed to assist in cutting down and clearing of the affected trees.
The operation required the temporary closure of the Suhyen–Tafo main road to ensure safety during the exercise.
Vehicular movement was therefore diverted through alternative routes within Suhyen township throughout the period of the operation.
The MTTD Personnel managed traffic effectively and ensured that both motorists and pedestrians complied with the temporary road diversion arrangements.
The exercise was successfully conducted without any major incident. All identified dangerous trees were cut and cleared from the road corridor. Normal traffic flow was restored immediately after the exercise, ensuring clear and safe access for road users and residents.
The collaboration between NADMO New Juaben North, the Ghana Police Service MTTD,the Assembly Memner, Unit Committee Members of Suhyen and the Chainsaw Operators helped to avert possible disasters that could have resulted from falling trees during the rainy season.
The exercise contributed greatly to public safety and ensured the protection of lives and property along the Suhyen–Tafo main road.
