On The Point of View with Bernard Avle, the focus is on the state of Ghana's roads, the impact of the recent June 29 floods, and the challenges confronting major road projects across the country.
Bernard Avle brings together perspectives from regional correspondents, engineers, contractors, and residents to examine how flooding, poor drainage, construction delays, and traffic management challenges are affecting road users.
Correspondents including Akwasi Addo from the Central Region and Akwasi Agyei Anim from the Western Region share experiences from their regions, highlighting how damaged roads and congestion are making short journeys take several hours for commuters.
Ing. Kwabena Bempong, Engineer and Road Construction Consultant, explains the technical challenges affecting Ghana's roads, stressing that “water is the number one enemy of roads.” He discusses the impact of floods on road durability, the importance of proper drainage systems, and the need for better planning in road construction.
The discussion also examines ongoing projects including the Tema Motorway rehabilitation, where plans are underway to create service roads on both sides of the highway to ease traffic while construction continues.
Bernard Avle further looks at the Pokuase–Amasaman–Dodowa road projects, where residents are calling for urgent government intervention to ensure timely completion, while contractors outline challenges affecting progress.
The programme also explores the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project, with Ing. Bempong describing it as an ambitious but achievable project. The discussion follows an inspection by the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) and the deployment of military personnel to support supervision and accelerate preparatory works.
From flood damage to delayed infrastructure projects, The Point of View brings together expert analysis and public concerns on what must be done to build a more resilient road network for Ghana.
