The government has reaffirmed its commitment to completing four vital road projects in the Greater Accra Region, namely the Ofonkor-Nsawam project, the Tema Motorway extension project, the Tema-Akosombo project, and the Tema-Aflao project. Hon. Kwame Agbodza, the Minister for Roads and Highways, made this assurance during an inspection tour of the projects.
While acknowledging the country’s challenging economic situation, Hon. Agbodza emphasized that these projects are a priority for the government, and funding will be provided to ensure their completion ¹. The Minister expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of work on the Ofonkor-Nsawam, Tema-Akosombo, and Tema-Aflao projects, directing the contractors to expedite their efforts and improve the condition of the unpaved and distressed sections of the roads.
To mitigate the inconvenience caused to motorists, Hon. Agbodza instructed the contractors to continue watering the roads to reduce dust. This move is expected to provide relief to commuters who have been grappling with the challenges posed by the ongoing construction works.
The government’s commitment to completing these critical road projects is a welcome development, as it is expected to improve the transportation network in the Greater Accra Region, enhance economic growth, and boost the overall quality of life for residents.
