The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana Dr Mahamadu Bawumia over the weekend inspected ongoing works on the 9.5km road linking Misio and Wuyima in the Mamprugu Moaduri district as well as the 210-meter bridge linking Misio to Wuyima in the North East Region.
When completed, this will shorten the three and half hours’ drive time from Walewale to Yagaba to forty minutes and also make it possible for commuters to travel from Walewale to Wa without going through Bolgatanga.
It would also open up the vast agricultural potential of the area.
The sub structures of the bridge are complete and as soon as the raining season is over the metal layovers will be latched.
According to him this is the first time after independence that any government is attempting to fix the bridge and he was grateful to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his immense support for the people in the North East Region and Ghana as a whole.
Dr Bawumia was happy with the progress of work but charged the contractor to speed up to be able to meet the scheduled timeline.
“The contractor (Ghacos) has done an excellent job” he said.
