The Keta Municipal Assembly has begun a major pothole patching exercise on key roads to improve safety and ease transportation within the municipality.
The exercise seeks to address the deteriorated condition of several roads that have posed risks to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Mr Wisdom Seade, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), said many roads had remained in poor condition for years, leading to frequent accidents, vehicle damage, and loss of lives.
“Our aim is to create a safer and more conducive driving environment and provide relief to residents who have endured poor road conditions for a long time,” he said.
The MCE assured residents of the Assembly’s commitment to addressing road challenges comprehensively to ensure safe and reliable transport.
He said the ongoing works, which commenced on the Keta–Vodza–Kedzi–Havedzi roads, would be extended to other affected roads across the municipality.
Mr Seade noted that the initiative formed part of a broader infrastructure development plan aimed at boosting economic growth and improving the quality of life of residents.
He appealed to residents to cooperate with contractors to ensure smooth execution of the project, adding that the exercise would create job opportunities for the youth.
The MCE also announced plans to repair faulty streetlights across the municipality to enhance night-time visibility and improve security.
Mr Bernard Ahiamata, a resident of Vodza, welcomed the initiative, describing it as timely and crucial to improving living conditions and economic activity in the area.
