Motorists and passengers plying
the Hohoe-Jasikan to Kadjebi road in the Volta region are calling on the Ghana
Highway Authority to as a matter of urgency carry out emergency repair works on
deplorable portions of the highway to ease their travelling woes.
According to them,
travelling on the road has become a nightmare in recent times as vehicles plying
the route often get stuck at various portions of the stretch which has become very
muddy with lots of ditches due to heavy downpours.
Last Wednesday, stranded
passengers have to endure the inconvenience of pushing vehicles to manoeuvre
through the muddy ditches around Bueman Senior High School in the Jasikan
district.
Some traders who frequent
the road say the situation is adversely affecting their businesses as most food
stuffs being cart from the northern part of the region get destroyed before
reaching Accra and other market centres in south.
They also complain of the
exorbitant fares being charged by some drivers because of the bad state of the
road; as the drivers also express frustration over the damage being caused to
their vehicles when plying that route.
