Asphalting works have commenced on the Penyi–Denu Tokor stretches of the Ho–Aflao Road under the government’s “Big Push” infrastructure agenda spearheaded by President John Dramani Mahama.
The development marks a significant milestone in the reconstruction of the strategic Ho–Aflao corridor, a key transport link expected to boost economic activity and improve connectivity within the Volta Region.
The project forms part of a broader national infrastructure drive aimed at accelerating development and stimulating economic growth across the country.
When completed, the Ho–Aflao Road is expected to enhance connectivity across seven constituencies, facilitate smoother movement of goods and services, and strengthen Ghana’s trade relations with neighbouring Togo.
The intervention is also projected to promote regional commerce, tourism and overall socio-economic development in the enclave.
Residents along the Penyi–Tokor stretch who interacted with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) expressed excitement about the progress of work and commended the contractors, NagFairMount Construction Limited, for their commitment to delivering the project within the stipulated timeframe.
They said the road, when fully completed, would significantly reduce travel time, improve road safety and ease transportation challenges faced by commuters and traders.
Asphalting works are currently progressing steadily from Penyi towards Tokor, with engineers and workers on site intensifying efforts to ensure timely completion.
