The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has deployed two local construction firms, First Sky Group and Oswal Investments Limited, to imme­diately begin emergency road repairs on the Tema Motorway to Dawhenya and Ashaiman-Afienya stretches.

The move is expected to bring relief to thousands of road users who endure heavy traffic con­gestion and deteriorating road conditions on the two routes.

Mr Agbodza, MP, Adaklu, gave the directive on Tuesday when he toured the two stretches to assess first-hand of the traffic situation commuters face on daily basis.

The emergency repairs works, Mr Agbodza said, would be carried out alongside full-scale construction which is expected to begin within two months.
