Contractors have resumed work on the stalled Pokuase-Nsawam road project following mounting public pressure and threats of a nationwide protest by commercial transport operators.
For weeks, the deplorable state of the road, one of the busiest corridors linking Accra to the Eastern and Ashanti regions, has drawn sharp criticism from motorists, residents, and transport unions.
Heavy rains in recent weeks further worsened the situation, leaving the stretch almost impassable and disrupting both transportation and economic activities.
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) of TUC, the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC), and other commercial transport operators had on Thursday, August 14, issued a one-week ultimatum to the Ministry of Roads and Highways.
