The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza has directed an immediate investigation into the alarming deterioration of parts of the newly reconstructed Tarkwa-Agona Nkwanta Road.
The 66-kilometre stretch, which cost €95 million, has shown visible signs of damage just months after its completion.
This came to light during his inspection tour of key infrastructure projects in the Western Region on Friday.
The Project Manager, Joaquim Ferreira, explained that the early damage was primarily due to excessive overloading by heavy-duty trucks transporting manganese, bauxite, and other mining-related materials.
