Work has restarted on the Sataso Bridge in the Mampong Constituency. This follows a change in the company responsible for the construction. The government aims to speed up building projects in the Ashanti Region. These projects improve transportation for everyone.
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, announced the change. He said Nathawo Constructions will now manage the Sataso Bridge project. This happened because there were problems with the first contractor. A temporary road, called a diversion, has been built. This allows cars and buses to travel while work continues. This diversion helps ease traffic and makes travel easier for people in the area.
This bridge project is part of a larger plan for Ghana's infrastructure. Investing in roads and bridges helps the economy grow. Better transport links connect businesses to markets. They also make it easier for people to get to work and school. Past government efforts also led to the completion of important bridges. Examples include the Kotokuom Bridge and Jacobu Bridge, finished last year.
Dr. Amoakohene expressed gratitude to the Minister for Roads and Highways. He praised the quick action and ongoing support for road building. He believes the Sataso Bridge will be finished successfully. This will greatly benefit the communities in the Mampong Constituency. The government is committed to improving infrastructure across the region. Safer and more reliable travel is a key goal.
The restart of the Sataso Bridge works signals a renewed focus on critical infrastructure. This could boost local economic activity. The diversion aims to minimize disruption immediately. Investors and residents will watch for timely completion. This project aligns with national goals for better connectivity and economic development.
