Minister response to questions on roads
Accra, June 5, Ghanadot/GNA
– Mr. Joe Gidisu, Minister of Roads and Highways, on Friday
said the Ghana Highways Authority had no immediate plans to
tar the Sankor-Cape Three Points road in the Ahanta West
District.
He said however that, in view of the discovery of oil in the
catchment area, the Ministry intends to discuss with the
Ministry of Energy the reconstruction and upgrading of a
number of roads in the area, which would be critical to the
operations of the oil industry.
Mr Gidisu was responding a question in Parliament on when
the Ministry would complete the tarring of the Sankor-Cape
Three Points road.
In response to another question on when the road network in
the Ablekuma Central Constituency would be rehabilitated, he
said work on these roads would be based on the Accra
Metropolitan Assembly's priority roads to be rehabilitated
and packaged in 2010.
On other roads in the Dade Kotopon Constituency, Mr Gidisu
said the road designs on these roads were being reviewed by
the Department of Urban Roads for packaging into projects
for implementation in 2010 and 2011.
