•2 min read•1 source
Rango Construction has returned to the Kulaa section of the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Polimakom road to address a stalled 1.1-kilometre stretch following significant public complaints. The construction firm has deployed a full complement of personnel and heavy machinery to the site, which had become a source of frustration for commuters and local residents due to its deteriorating state and excessive dust levels. The resumption marks a critical intervention for the Upper East Region's infrastructure.
During a recent site inspection, the Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Akamugri Atanga, emphasized the government's commitment to addressing the community's grievances. He assured residents that the current remedial measures are specifically designed to improve motorability and drastically reduce dust pollution, which has posed health risks to those living along the corridor. The presence of active equipment on the ground signals a shift in the project’s momentum after months of delays and public outcry.
The Minister further revealed that the government is intensifying its infrastructure drive across the region, with additional equipment expected to arrive soon to support various other priority road projects. By prioritizing the Kulaa section, authorities aim to restore public confidence and ensure that the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Polimakom road, a critical economic artery, meets the required standards for safe and efficient travel. This section is vital for the regional transport network, linking major trading hubs.
Local residents have welcomed the contractor's return but remain watchful, hoping that this latest resumption leads to the final completion of the road rather than a temporary fix. The successful execution of these remedial works is expected to ease the daily commute for thousands of residents and traders who rely on the route. The Bolgatanga-Bawku-Polimakom project remains a focal point for infrastructure development in northern Ghana under the current administration.
