<\/p>\nConstruction work to expand the School junction-Adjirangano road in Accra, has finally started.<\/p>\n
The stretch, which connects East Legon to Ashaley Botwe, Lake Side, Nmai Dzorn, Zoomlion, Trassaco estate, Nanakrom, Santoe, East Legon Hills, and connects adjoining communities to Ashaiman, has for a long time now been riddled with gaping potholes.<\/p>\n
The situation has been a major source of worry for commuters and road users over the years, as it subjects them to unbearable traffic, and visits to mechanic shops repeatedly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The construction works follow consistent on-air campaigns by the host of the Citi Breakfast Show,<\/strong> Benard Koku Avle and his crew for that specific road and others to be fixed.<\/p>\n The single-lane pothole patched road will soon be transformed into a dual carriage major road with a median and pedestrian walkways.<\/p>\n Even before the construction takes full shape, residents and commuters have expressed delight at the work done so far by the local contractors at Oswal.<\/p>\n According to them, the construction of a covered drain along both sides of the road is something they have never seen before. They also spoke highly of the quality of work done so far.<\/p>\n When completed, two streams of vehicles will move concurrently from School Junction to Adjirangano and vice versa. The double-lane road will have bus stops with streetlights.<\/p>\n When Citi News<\/strong> visited the site, earth and concrete works were underway to solidify the road to accommodate the heavy volumes of traffic it will carry with the future in mind.<\/p>\n Unlike other projects where traders along the streets and owners of properties resist construction works due to its impact on their businesses and properties, Citi News<\/strong> understands that this time, all affected persons have voluntarily relocated.<\/p>\n The construction works are also streamlined to finish one end at a time, in order not to cause any inconvenience to residents and commuters.<\/p>\n Though the contractors will not immediately reveal the cost of the pre-financed project, they are confident they will finish the project ahead of their 24-month deadline.<\/p>\n There seems to be a pleasant relationship between the contractor and drivers, both commercial and private, as many of them commended them for the spate of work so far.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Caleb Kudah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Construction work to expand the School junction-Adjirangano road in Accra, has finally started.
