Member of Parliament for Nkwanta South, Hon. Gershon Gbediame has expressed optimism that the completion of the Eastern Corridor road especially the section that passes through Dodi Pepesu and Nkwanta will boost economic activities in the area.
According to him, the road which is in a terrible state when completed will help facilitate the transportation of foodstuffs to other parts of the region as trucks carting the farm produce such as yams often get stark sometimes for three(3) days on that part of the road especially when it rains.
The much-talked-about eastern corridor road, otherwise known as national route N2, which starts from Tema Motorway roundabout through to Kulungugu on the north eastern border with Burkina Faso, is being funded by the European Union.
The Asikuma Junction to Peki portion of the road forms part of the lot 2 section (Asikuma Junction-Hohoe-Jasikan-Poase Cement, 147.2km) of the entire 695km eastern corridor road project.
Speaking to GhanaMPs.gov.gh, Hon. Gershon Gbediame stated that the Dodi Pepesu and Nkwanta stretch of the road is expected to be completed by November this year, a development which has come as great relief and joy to drivers and passengers alike.
He noted that a recent visit to that part of the main road by MPs from the region showed that work was feverishly on-going, adding that it would to a large extent inure to the benefit of the residents.
Hon. Gershon Gbediame expressed his commitment to ensure that the living conditions of the good people of Nkwanta South is improved.
