A Monthly Progress Report on the upgrading of the Bouho\u2013Sasa\u2013Afrancho road and other critical access roads indicates steady advancement in the execution of the project.

According to the report, the contract was awarded to Messrs. KNAPO Construction Limited at a total cost of GH\u20b5100,035,925.24, funded by the Government of Ghana. The contract agreement was signed on September 11, 2024, and is expected to be executed within a 24-month period.<\/p>\n

The scope of works includes the construction of drainage systems such as pipe and box culverts, earthworks involving cut-and-fill operations, formation of sub-base and base layers, bitumen surfacing, and other ancillary road works.<\/p>\n

The project officially commenced on February 17, 2025, and is scheduled for completion on February 16, 2027, subject to any approved extensions of time. A defects liability period of 12 months has also been \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0443\u0441\u043c\u043e\u0442\u0440ed after completion to ensure the quality and durability of the works.<\/p>\n

Spanning approximately 7 kilometres, the upgrading of the Bouho\u2013Sasa\u2013Afrancho road is expected to significantly improve transportation, reduce travel time, and boost socio-economic activities within the district and its surrounding communities.<\/p>\n
