AN ULTRA-MODERN ASPHALTED ROAD HAS BEEN OPENED TO EASE TRAFFIC IN APPIATSE AFTER EXPLOSION

An ultra-modern asphalted road has been opened to traffic in Appiatse in the Western Region weeks after an explosion rocked the town.

Western Region Minister Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah's official vehicle became the first to ply the road on Thursday, March 3.

The Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr Kwasi Amoako-Attah, has applauded constructors working on the section of the Bogoso-Ayamfuri road which was badly affected during the explosion at Appiatse community in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality.

Mr Amoako-Atta said this when he inspected the progress of work on that stretch of road.

"I am really happy with the work undertaken by M/S Gabriel Couto-Rango, Whelhem Construction Limited and another construction company," he said.

According to him, the explosion, which displaced the entire Appiatse Town created a crater of about 10.2 meters deep with a length of over 27 meters.

"The road has been reinstated and the crater has also been filled up to the sub base level. There is only one more stage to go before the road gets to its original state," he said.
