While announcing the deployment of a number of new ferries on the Volta river, the President also revealed that the Adomi bridge in Atimpoku will be completed and opened to the public.<\/p>\n

The eastern corridor road\u00a0is made up of a complex mix of roads traversing the Greater Accra, Volta, Northern and Upper East regions and is expected to ease access to markets and also enable farmers to increase the value of agriculture produce and ultimately their incomes.<\/p>\n

Parts of the road in recent times has become virtually unmotorable<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>due to the rains.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, some vehicles and heavy duty trucks plying the road were stuck in the muddy stretch after a heavy downpour.<\/p>\n

The President however revealed that the road, when completed will “open up traffic on the North eastern corridor of the country and allow agricultural products, passengers, goods to travel smoothly between the North and South.”<\/p>\n
