Part of the road under construction

I am writing to express satisfaction at the rate of work progressing on the Accra-Tema Beach Road Project. The contractors seem to be working ahead of schedule and I won’t be surprised if the work is completed by early next year.

The Trade Fair Junction to La stretch has for a long time been one of the ‘notorious/rugged portions of that road but I have observed how it has been put back in shape in the last few months.

Now, I see the contractors digging from La towards Osu. Hopefully, they will asphalt the road and end everything at the Black Star Square as expected.

Just as we cannot make omelette without breaking eggs, I notice some trees along the stretch especially around the La Polyclinic area were uprooted for the road expansion.

Those trees have for many years beautified the area and provided shade to some people. Although the trees were uprooted for good reasons, I wish to prompt those in charge of the project to restore the greenery of the area after all is said and done. We need the roads but trees also serve a purpose.
