Work begins on the reconstruction of the 7.5 kilometre Yendi inner city roads in the Northern Region, to open up the municipality to facilitate trade.
The roads are the Nayilifong-Gukpegu road, Waayili road, and Kumfong roads.
The aim of the project is to improve the quality of the existing roads, facilitate mobility within and between different communities to facilitate trade and service and is expected to be completed within six months.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Yendi Constituency in the Northern Region, Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama, on Sunday joined traditional leaders to cut sod for work to commence.
The construction of the roads is being executed by a Brazilian Joint Venture constitute of two companies, Andrade Gutierrez and Odebrecht Engenharia e Construcao, with funding from Government of Ghana(GoG).
At a short ceremony here in Yendi, the MP said roads would be built with high quality standards in road construction as much as possible, and respecting the standards of safety to prevent and avoid accidents in the municipality.
The MP stated that the idea was to deliver a road that would meet the necessities of the road users and the communities involved, promoting an environment of cooperation.

In a speech read for him, Ndan Ya-Na Abukari Mahama thanked the MP for the number of projects that he had brought to the area.
