Residents of Bogoso are set to experience improved road connectivity and safer transportation as the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Prestea Huni-Valley, Matthew Ayeh, undertook an inspection of ongoing road rehabilitation works within the township.
The inspection, carried out on Friday, April 10, 2026, forms part of efforts by the Municipal Assembly to address the deteriorating condition of inner roads and enhance mobility for residents and businesses.
Speaking during the tour, Mr. Ayeh revealed that the Municipal Assembly, through its engineering department, has commenced spot improvements and reshaping of key roads in the area. He noted that work has already begun on the Golden Hotel hill—one of the critical stretches in Bogoso known for its poor condition, especially during the rainy season.
“My Road Engineer and his team have commenced work on the Golden Hotel hill and will continue until all inner roads are properly reshaped,” he stated.
The DCE emphasized that the intervention was aimed at making the roads more motorable, thereby easing the movement of people, goods, and services within the township. According to him, the poor state of inner roads has long been a challenge for residents, affecting daily commuting, commercial activities, and access to essential services.
Beyond reshaping, the project also includes clearing and reclaiming road spaces that have been encroached upon over time. Mr. Ayeh indicated that areas such as the Attachem Sawmill enclave will be cleared and graded to restore accessibility.
“As part of the exercise, areas such as the Attachem Sawmill enclave, which have been encroached upon by some residents, will be cleared and graded to improve access,” he explained.
He added that a similar exercise would be undertaken behind the current Ghana Education Service office, where encroachment has also hindered smooth access.
The DCE noted that reclaiming these spaces was crucial not only for road expansion, but also for ensuring long-term sustainability of the improvements. He appealed to residents to cooperate with the Assembly as the exercise progresses, stressing that the benefits of the project far outweigh the inconveniences that may arise during the process.
Mr. Ayeh further underscored the importance of stakeholder collaboration in the successful execution of the project. He expressed appreciation to individuals and groups who have shown commitment to supporting the initiative.
“I would like to express my appreciation to all stakeholders who have committed to working with me and the Municipal Assembly to make this a success,” he said.
The road improvement project is expected to significantly boost economic activities in Bogoso by facilitating easier movement for traders, transport operators, and other businesses. It is also anticipated to improve access to schools, health facilities, and other essential services, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for residents.
As work progresses, residents remain hopeful that the intervention will mark a turning point in addressing the long-standing road challenges in the area.
