He stated as quoted;
“Last year, you all remember President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo say one of his focuses this year is to embark on an aggressive road development across Ghana tagging 2020 as ‘the year of roads”. Roads are critical in the development of any country,” the Minister said.
He said the project would develop a new link into Adjirigano Boundary Road from East Legon that would also see the building of a culvert and widening of the road, which would be connected to the Block Factory area.
“When this is done the traffic at the East Legon tunnel will ease significantly because commuters will have options and can drive to the Adjirigano without using the junction.”
Mr Amoako-Atta appealed to the local assemblies to desist from issuing permits that impede road development.
He said the Ministry would work with the local assembly in whose jurisdiction the project was being implemented, in accordance with the law, to ensure demolishing of structures to ease construction work.
He advised the public to be meticulous and ensure they secured permits from the right sources before putting up structures.
