SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

ROAD NETWORK

The dominant medium of transportation within the Municipality is the road network which links the Accra – Kumasi – Tamale highway. The Municipality has a total road length of 386.5km, 135.28km representing 35% is paved whilst 251.22km representing 65% is also unpaved. Bomso, KNUST Campus, Kentinkrono, Oduom and Ayigya Zongo Extension are some communities with motorable road networks.

All other communities have mostly only the main road tarred or motorable, most of the other road infrastructure is not in good condition. This indicates that the municipality need massive facelift in the road sector to enhance mobility which will improve economic activities.

ENERGY

All communities are joined to the national grid for the supply of electricity. Solar power is also gradually being adopted in addition to electricity which is widely used for lighting and other purposes.

The Municipality has fuel and LPG stations which serve its inhabitants and other travellers. Inhabitants also have access to wood fuel and charcoal for domestic use. The use of biogas is however yet to be adopted by the Municipality.
