Accra, July 23, GNA – The Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA) has commenced an asphaltic overlay on some roads in Asylum Down, Ridge, and some parts of Osu township to improve the road network.
The 0.60m drain construction and 70mm thick asphalt project is being done by Messrs Core Construction Limited.
The Municipal Chief Executive, Nii Adjei Tawiah, in a release to the Ghana News Agency, said research showed that overlays improved ride quality because once an asphalt surface aged it developed cracks and was unsafe for use.
He said roads were important in national development and added value to social benefits thus must be kept in good shape all year round.
