Notability[edit]
Senchi ferry[edit]
Senchi has a ferry station used for the crossing of the Volta River from the west to the Old Akrade on the eastern side.[1][2] It was the major crossing for vehicular traffic prior to the completion of the construction of the Adomi Bridge in January 1957.[3] In 2014, it experienced very heavy traffic while the Adomi Bridge was closed to traffic for repairs.[1][4][5]
Resorts[edit]
Senchi is well noted as the location of some resorts and guest houses south of the dam on the Volta River. These include Royal Senchi Resort and The Senchi Consensus[6][7]
