Nana Kwabena Yeboah, revealed that, works on the road started about three years ago but was abandoned for some time.

Meanwhile, traders along the road are lamenting that the dust is affecting their businesses .

According to them, people do not patronize their products because they are dusty.
“My shop is along the road, I can’t do anything because of the dust and people are not patronizing my products because they are dusty, so we are appealing to the contractor to speed up work or at least water the road to minimize the impact of the dust on us” Enock Yeboah, a trader bemoaned.

Kwatire is about 10km away from the Sunyani Airport and it is situated 3km away from Odumase the capital of Sunyani-West Municipality.
