The concrete paver concreting portion of the road. INSET: Workers laying stone basement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The government\u2019s concreting of roads
\nin some parts of the Tema Heavy Industrial Area in the Greater Accra Region by
\ngovernment is progressing steadily.<\/p>\n

Currently, the 5.4 km stretch at TOR-Tema
\nSteel Works to DVLA Road which is being undertaken by two local firms \u2013 Messrs L\u00e8mef
\nConstruction Limited and Messrs Joshob Construction Limited \u2013 is seeing the casting
\nof concrete.<\/p>\n

Stone basing works \u2013 the final work
\nbefore concreting \u2013 have also commenced around the steel works junction to
\nTropical Cable. <\/p>\n

When DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> visited the scene,
\na paver machine was also seen doing some concreting works on the road near DVLA
\nstretch.<\/p>\n

Site Supervisor Michael Eduah told DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> that they were almost done with the construction of the drains.<\/p>\n

According to him, ground
\npreparation works, including laying of stone basement ahead of the concreting
\nof some parts of the road, were ready.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that last
\nyear, Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia cut sod for the concrete road
\nconstruction. The Vice-President said the project was being piloted and could
\nbe extended to some major roads in the country. He said it was cheaper building
\na concrete road compared to an asphalted road.<\/p>\n

According to him, the road was
\nselected based on its functional use by heavy duty vehicles.<\/p>\n

Road Construction Engineers
\nexplained that although the initial cost of concrete roads was relatively high,
\nit was more economical, compared to asphalt roads, over a period of not less than
\n40 years.<\/p>\n
