The Ministry of Roads and Highways is awaiting the signing of a subsidiary agreement for the commencement of works on the Ekyi Amanfrom-Dedeso-Donkorkrom which is an inter-district road.
The road which links the Afram Plains South and Afram Plains North Districts has been awarded in phases for Bituminous surfacing to nine contractors under the Eastern Corridor Multi-Modal Transport Project which are to be funded under the China Development Bank (CDB) loan.
This came to light after the Member of Parliament for Afram Plains South, Joseph Appiah Boateng asked a question in Parliament asking of what plans the Ministry has to rehabilitate the road from Kwesi Fante to Dome and the main road from Ekyi Amanfrom to Donkorkrom.
The Deputy Minister Hon. Isaac Adjei-Mensah in answering the question noted that the Kwesi Fante –Dome feeder road is 19.30km and is graveled road in fair to poor conditions.
He disclosed that the Kwesi Fante –Dome feeder road has been programmed for routine maintenance works this year, adding that the contract will commence after the rains.
Hon. Isaac Adjei-Mensah stated that engineering studies will be carried out this year to determine the appropriate intervention, based on the outcome of the studies; work will be programmed for 2015.
