Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology campus flooded

Heavy flooding has affected several bridges across the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus, disrupting students' movement between campus and lecture halls.

The rain, which started at 11:30pm on Wednesday, June 10,2026, caused severe flooding along the KNUST-Mecca Road, with the bridge and surrounding areas submerged.

Despite the conditions, a school shuttle was seen driving through the floodwaters to pick up students and transport them to lecture halls.

The flooding has significantly slowed mobility across campus, forcing students and staff to use alternative routes while raising concerns about safety and accessibility.

Heavy flooding on major roads within the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus disrupted movement and academic activities on Thursday morning.

The situation left several students stranded between halls of residence and lecture halls after a heavy downpour overwhelmed the university’s drainage system.

Key bridges and walkways across campus became impassable, forcing students heading to lectures to take longer alternative routes, while others remained in their halls due to safety concerns.

School buses were, however, able to cross some of the flooded areas, helping to transport students, while taxis and smaller vehicles were unable to pass.

University authorities deployed security personnel to monitor the situation and direct traffic to ensure safety and order across affected areas.

The flooding significantly slowed campus mobility, affecting the movement of both students and staff.

University management is yet to issue an official statement on the extent of the disruption.
