The Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has commissioned the 31.2km Assin Praso-Assin Fosu road project.
The $58-million project included the rehabilitation of 31.2km of the road section between Assin Fosu and Assin Praso with asphalt concrete pavement, the dualisation of the 4-lane carriageway of a 1.2km section in the centre of Assin Fosu township, and the reconstruction of a railway underpass bridge with a reinforced concrete box culvert.
It also included the reconstruction of drainage structures between Assin Fosu and Assin Praso and the provision of street lights within Assin Fosu.
The project, which forms part of the national trunk road (N8), will contribute significantly to freight and the transportation of people, particularly in the Western, Central, and Ashanti regions, as well as the northern regions and neighbouring countries.
