The Ghanaian Times says motorists and pedestrians plying the Mallam-Kasoa stretch of the Accra-Cape Coast Highway will heave a sigh of relief as work on a 500-metre double cell culvert drain commences next Monday. The project will direct waters from upstream into the sea without blocking traffic during heavy rains. It is also expected to reduce or stop the perennial flooding in the area that comes with loss of lives and damage to property. The Ghanaian Times hopes now that the project is taking off, it would set many minds at ease, particularly as to whether the city authorities are committed to addressing the plight of motorists and pedestrians. Many have been apprehensive as it appeared that nothing was being done despite promises upon promises by the Ghana Highway Authority. The paper urges all stakeholders to ensure enough public education. The Ghanaian Times appreciates the work of our engineers and consultants and asks commuters to bear with the pain and sacrifice their comfort to get this problem fixed once and for all.
