The roads include Allatakrom-Serwum, Jensue-Kwesikrom,Jema-Eddykrom,Adomkrom junction- Motoso, Adjeikrom Junction-Limann,Tettey junction-Acquai-AAlla,Kweku-Atta junction-Kourdjour, Dabiasem junction-Owusukrom . Other footbridges and culverts include wooden bridge at Enchi zongo, footbridge at Enchi Nakaba.

The MCE said, it is his wish to see major roads linking the municipal capital, Enchi to be accessible so that foodstuffs and cocoa can be evacuated or transported to market centers for sales.

The Municipal Assembly and for that matter the central government would make sure pride of the people will be addressed.

Mr. Adu-Gyamfi said, roads linking Nyankamum –Kweku Atta- Kuordjor , Kwuwu- Kwawu Nyamebekyere roads and other culverts and footbridges would soon be reshaped and constructed.

He said, there is an overwhelming desire for the government to holistically address the poor road network in the municipality, two important roads whose poor state greatly affect the socio economic life of the people in the Municipality are the Enchi-Ellubo and Enchi-Akontonbra Nkwanta roads. The two roads link Aowin Municipality to the Jomoro and Suaman Districts respectively.

It was glad to hear that, during the recent visit of President Akuffo Addo to the region, he announced that funding had been secured for the construction of Enchi-Ellubo road while efforts are being put in place to re-award Enchi-Akontonbra Nkwanta road together with other road projects in the region.

The MCE said, other project that was so dear to the people of Enchi and for that matter the people of the Municipality was the construction of concrete drains along the Atua River in the Enchi Township. The lack of concrete drains along the river had been largely responsible for the perennial flooding at Enchi and its environs over the years.

The construction of concrete drains along the river was therefore among the projects submitted as priority projects under the coastal belt development priority projects of the Aowin Municipality.

One major responsibility of the Municipal Assembly and for that matter the MCE is to play a supervisory role to ensure that all projects awarded on contract were well supervised according to contract specification, he added.

Briefing the MCE and his inspection team, the site engineer on 9.7km Dabiasem junction – Owusukrom road, Mr. Kobby Addison said they were working hard to ensure that they would be able to complete work as scheduled. All specifications on the contract were adhered to, he added.
