Jomoro MP rehabilitates another 17-km road linking four communities

The Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has reshaped a 17 kilometer road linking four communities in the constituency.

The four communities are Allewule, Mpataba, Bonyere and Ezinobo Zone.

While Allewule had one kilometer road reshaped, Mpataba had two kilometers road rehabilitated. Bonyere and Ezinobo Zone had 14 kilometers worked on.

The Western File was told that the Allewule Junction road, which links the Junction to the town, was in a deplorable state, causing havoc to motorists, most especially tricycle riders.

Tricycle riders who ply the one kilometer road charge as high as GH?10 for short distances, due to the deplorable state of the road. However, after the reshaping of the road, the fare has been reduced to GH?5.

Some Okada riders and residents expressed gratitude to the MP for reshaping the roads and called for proper tarring of the road.

With the Mpataba by-pass, the 2-kilometre road, which links to the main Elubo road, residents and commuters from Half-Assini, Tekobo 1 and 2 and others communities have to travel all the way to the Samenyi barrier before they join the Elubo Road. But with the reshaping of the Mpataba by-pass, commuters are able to use the by-pass to the main Elubo road, making it shorter.

Some of the residents and drivers said the new road is really helping their businesses. They explained that their businesses were affected when the road deteriorated because they had to commute to the barrier before they join the main Elubo road. The residents are also calling for the proper tarring of the road.

The Bonyere and Ezinobo Zone 14-kilometre road also served the aforementioned communities in diverse ways.
