For many people, government’s declaration of year of roads may mean one of those empty rhetoric to get the public excited, especially because of their experiences with poor road network in their localities. But for people who have evidence of road construction in their areas, that declaration means a lot to them.
Such is the people living in and around Dome through Kwabenya to Kitase where work is progressing on the Dome-Kitase road. The Dome-Kitase Road has been at the heart of residents around Dome-Kwabenya and others who ply the Accra Koforidua route for the simple reason that it offers a shorter link from Dome-Atomic Down to the Akuapem enclave, thereby cutting off the traffic at Haatso-Madina and Adentan.
It was therefore not surprising the jubilation that greeted the sod-cutting by the president, Nana Akufo-Addo on July 29, 2022. The GHC 195million road Project, expected to be completed within 24 months is being executed by Messrs. First Sky Construction Limited, a road construction company in the country.
Work scope include 16.3km single carriageway with asphaltic concrete surfacing; a 2.85km dual carriageway, a one-kilometre two-lane single carriageway for Ashesi University, the provision of 1.45km three-lane single carriageway with auxiliary lanes for drop off/pick up on both sides, and a 1.9km two-lane carriageway link.
Some residents expressed their delight about the project and hope it would not be a one-day wonder like previous ones, instead this time the contractor would stay until the completion of the road.
