Residents of the Essikado-Ketan Constituency in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis are set to benefit from several major road construction projects aimed at improving transportation, easing congestion, and enhancing economic activity in the area.
The projects follow months of advocacy by the Member of Parliament for the constituency, Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah, who has been engaging relevant government agencies to prioritize key road networks within the constituency.
The construction works will be undertaken by Justmoh Construction Limited, owned by contractor Justice Amoh, as part of efforts to upgrade critical roads and improve mobility across communities.
According to the Department of Urban Roads, the projects earmarked for construction include the dualization of the Regional Office Roundabout to Sekondi College Junction (Secko Junction), the Ketan to Kojokrom road through the Ahenkofie Bypass, the Kojokrom Fitting Junction to Enoe road, and the Kansawrodo to Mampong road.
Work has already commenced on the Mpintsin to Esiem road, which is being executed by the Department of Feeder Roads to improve access to communities within the area.
In addition, the government’s “Big Push” dualization project is expected to further transform road infrastructure in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. The project, which will include two overpasses, will run from Secko Junction through Mpintsin, Kojokrom, Nkroful, and Fijai to Takoradi, with the goal of improving connectivity and reducing traffic congestion.
The progress of these projects has been linked to the infrastructure development agenda of President John Dramani Mahama, which continues to focus on expanding and improving road networks across the country.
Residents and stakeholders in the Essikado-Ketan Constituency have welcomed the development and commended Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah for her efforts in championing improved road infrastructure for the area.
