Road networks within three towns in the Volta region are to be given an asphaltic facelift, President Mahama has revealed.
The re-surfacing which will take place before the end of 2016 forms part of an urban roads improvement project being undertaken by government to improve the standard of roads in Ho, Hohoe and Keta.
President Mahama who disclosed this, during a courtesy called on the paramount chief of Asogli traditional area, Togbe Afede XIV, in Ho over the weekend, said 25 kilometers of roads have been earmarked for the asphaltic surfacing in Ho as part of the phase of the project.
“The project is being awarded and very soon the contract will be on site to raise the standards of the roads with asphalt and this will also be done in Keta and Hohoe,” he stated.
The president’s assurance comes on the back sentiments expressed by residents, which Togbe Afede re-echoed at the meeting, about the quality of some roads which were recently resurfaced with bituminous chipping within the Volta regional capital.
