Jomoro: Ato Forson gives financial clearance for Samenya–New Town road, Ankobra Bridge

The financial clearance marks a key step towards the implementation of the two infrastructure projects, which are expected to improve road connectivity, ease transportation challenges and support economic activities in the municipality and surrounding communities.

The Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, has reportedly granted financial clearance for major construction works on the Samenya–New Town road in the Jomoro Municipality of the Western Region, alongside the rehabilitation of the Ankobra Bridge.

In July 2026, residents appealed for urgent improvements to the municipality’s road network, citing the effects of poor roads on transportation, access to healthcare and economic activities.
