The road connecting Awoshie Last Stop to Gbawe Cp Last Stop in Accra has deteriorated over time, making movement difficult for motorists and pedestrians who use the route daily.
The stretch is an important transport link within the Ga South Municipality, particularly for commercial taxi drivers who operate within these two communities.
Concerns have been raised by residents and drivers who live along these two communities. Several sections of the road are uneven with potholes and dusty, while others have eroded edges. In some parts, the absence of proper drainage systems leads to water accumulation whenever it rains.
During the dry season, the road becomes extremely dusty as vehicles pass, creating discomfort for traders and residents alongside the road and reducing visibility for them.
In most cases, you see the traders and residents pour water on the road to reduce the dust from attacking them or disturbing what they sell. In the rainy season, the situation worsens as muddy patches and potholes make the road difficult to navigate.
The poor condition of the road affects daily transportation within the community. Vehicles often slow down significantly when driving through damaged sections, which leads to traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. Pedestrians also face challenges moving along the road due to a lack of proper walkways.
Residents and traders operating near the roadside are frequently exposed to dust generated by passing vehicles and risk to their lives.
The Awoshie Last Stop-Gbawe Cp Road serves as a key route connecting several surrounding communities. It supports local economic activities as many traders, workers and students rely on it daily commuting.
The current state of Awoshie Last Stop – Gbawe Cp Road highlights the need for urgent maintenance improving the road surface and providing proper drainage system would help enhance transportation, reduce dust pollution and improve safety for road users.
Addressing the situation would significantly improve mobility and overall quality of life for residents who depend on the road for their daily activities.
