During a visit, Mr Kofi Kamkam, the Site Engineer of the Kofi Job Company Limited told the Sompa FM that the project was expected to be completed in two years, however added that with the level of cooperation from stakeholders, the project be completed before the stipulated period.

He explained that the road project linked communities like Fiapre, Nanketewa, Old Abesim as well as Old Odomase and New Odomase, connecting to the main Sunyani-Berekum and Sunyani-Abesim highways.

Mr Kamkam said presently, the company was undertaking major earth works as well as the construction of the 26 bridges (box culvert) on the road.
