\u201cIt starts from Old Barrier at Bortianor Junction on the Accra-Cape Coast road and cuts through Kokrobite, Tuba, Nyanyano,\u00a0 Kakraba to Sapato Junction on the Accra Cape Coast road, which is beyond Kasoa\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n
He said the total length of the road is 24km, of which 17km fell within the Ga South Municipality and the remaining within the Agona East district in the Central Region.<\/p>\n
The Minister commended the contractors for the work done so far and pledged government\u2019s continuous support for the project.<\/p>\n
He noted that the construction of the road along that stretch will enable pineapple cultivators in the area to easily transport their goods to the urban areas.<\/p>\n
Mr Adjei-Mensah said the road, when fixed, will help ease the traffic congestion to and from Kasoa and the Central Business Districts (CBD) in Accra.<\/p>\n
Mr Abass Awolu, the Director, Urban Roads, said the road which was about 60 per cent complete, involves the construction of culverts and drains, the laying of sub -base and base course, construction of bridges as well as road construction.<\/p>\n
He said the construction work, which was of great importance to the Ministry, will also ensure that all the projects were linked to each other to ensure quick movement for those who use it.<\/p>\n
The Minister and his team of experts also paid a courtesy call on Nai Kwaku Osardua 1, Chief of Bawjiase in the Agona West District to inform him of the commencement of renovation works on the Topiase (a suburb within Bawjiase) to Agona Swedru road.<\/p>\n
