The five-kilometre Bame-Hlefi road would be tarred by the end of January 2016 with the approval of the Ghana Highways Authority.

Mr Emmanuel Omari, Foreman of Muudu Construction Limited, told Mr Emmanuel Bedzra, Member of Parliament for Ho-West, during an inspection of projects in his Constituency.

The five kilometre Bame-Hlefi road formed part of the 16.5 kilometre Bame-Dzolokpuita road which had been under construction since 2011.

Mr Bedzra, Chairman of the Government Assurance Committee, said government was committed to completing projects started before the 2012 general elections.

The upgrading of the Bame-Dzolokpuita road, a major cocoa road in constructed the early 1960s, to an all-weather-bitumen surfaced road had faced some challenges over the years.

That road links Kpedze, the most commercially situated border town West of Ho on Ghana’s Eastern Corridor with, the Republic of Togo.
