The people of the Volta Region are about to get a major reprieve from the poor state of their roads. The government has finally taken steps to fulfill its promise to reconstruct the Ho-Aflao and the Weta – Afiadenyigba – Havedzi Road.
Kwame Agbodza led a team of engineers from the Ministry of Roads and Highways and the Ghana Highway Authority to assess the condition of the roads. The team’s visit marked the beginning of urgent intervention to improve the roads.
According to Hon Agbodza, the Ho-Aflao Road reconstruction will be undertaken under President John Mahama’s Big Push Agenda. On the other hand, the Weta – Afiadenyigba – Havedzi Road will be funded through the Roads Ministry’s 2025 budgetary allocation.
To further alleviate traffic congestion, feasibility studies, drawings, and designs for the Ho bypass are nearing completion. Procurement and construction are set to begin soon.
This development is a welcome relief for the people of the Volta Region, who have had to endure poor road conditions for far too long. With the government’s commitment to rebuilding these critical roads, the region can look forward to improved connectivity, enhanced economic opportunities, and a better quality of life.
