The year of roads was a much-touted program last year when His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced his plans pertaining to the road sector this year 2020 since Mr. President ascended the highest office, he realised Ghana has road deficits he must address. Also most of the roads which were motorable in early and late 90s have also deteriorated so it was prudent for His Excellency to dedicate this year as the year of roads.
In the Ashanti region 500 kilometers of roads are under construction as the road Minister promised to complete by the end of this year, most importantly is the Anwiankwata-Obuasi road which is under massive construction.
After Mr. President's speech on roads, parliament approved over 2.2 billion Ghana Cedis for road construction, and massive road construction has begun across Ashanti, Eastern, Northern Regions of Ghana, Brong Ahafo, and Greater Accra Region.
The Chinese contractor Zhongmei Engineering who is constructing other connecting roads are almost done with the Pokuase interchange in the capital Accra which leads to Ghana's second-largest city Kumasi.
Other ongoing projects amidst this COVID-19 season include upgrading Salaga Bimbila road, Kwadaso Trebuom road, Asuom Kade road, construction of Asokwa Bosomtwe roads, Akropong town roads, Mampong Kofiase roads, and many more. A few weeks ago Hon. Patricia Appiagyei Member of parliament for Asokwa toured road construction sites within Asokwa and she realised the contractors on-site are doing a quality job as instructed by His Excellency The President.
I'm indeed surprised at the speed rate His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo charged contractors in charge to complete these road projects in this season of COVID-19, but it's a sign of good leadership in the sense that He has no room for vain promises.
We all pray the floods of ongoing road projects will be timely completed for Ghanaians.

Sycophant because u are licking some buttocks u have lost ur brain only speak like b3ll3 full. Where are the roads npp is soo evil and cuning to the height of ***barred word***. God is watching u
What the f are the roads?? After 4 years in office all the roads Nana came to meat have not seen any kind of maintenance and it has devastated our roads. Instead of building infrastructure like roads and hospitals he was rather interested in using our taxes to close down their competitors banks. The monies that was used to destroy paa kwesi's businesses could have done a lot for this country. You can continue with your ***barred word***-kissing, we're here and we know what is happening.
Where are the roads...the one recently completed at Tema roundabout is total waste of resources. Come next year, traffic congestion will even be worse than before. WHY the NPP gov couldn't just copy and replicate Rawlings Arko Adjei Three-Tier design simply shows that those who occupy political office in Gh only do so as a means to steal. Nothing else. I mean, just copy something good too they found it that difficult???
Where are the roads? We don't see them. We can only see Mahama road projects - Pokuase Obetsebi, Tema etc. Big loans, nothing to show for.
