According to him, he is liaising with the government to construct a two-hundred meter (200M) bridge across the Black Volta to facilitate trade between Ghana and Burkina Faso, adding, feasibility and costing has been finalized awaiting cabinet approval for construction to commence.
The Hon Deputy minister proceeded to add that, Ghana cannot construct the bridge whiles their counterparts in Burkina will not construct a road from the bridge to Bobodelaso, so discussion are still going on with their counterparts in Burkina Faso so that, the road from Boo through Dowine Eremong Zambo to Lawra Dikpe to Bobodelaso is declared an international Ecowas road so that, the African development Bank can step in to finance the project on the other side.
