Commercial transport operators are demanding urgent repairs to the Pokuase\u2013Nsawam road, describing the current state as deplorable and dangerous for motorists, commuters, and residents along the stretch.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on August 14, the operators said the poor condition of the road has made it nearly impassable, increasing operational costs due to frequent vehicle maintenance, spare parts replacement, and reduced vehicle lifespans.<\/p>\n
They noted that the situation affects not only commercial drivers but all motorists traveling to destinations in the Eastern, Ashanti, and other northern regions, disrupting daily life and economic activity.<\/p>\n
According to the operators, a recent engagement with the Minister for Roads and Highways yielded an assurance that the road would be put in satisfactory condition within six weeks. However, they said the deadline had passed without any improvement.<\/p>\n
