The Minister urged Ghanaians to remain patient as the administration worked to improve the country's road networks, noting that previous governments should have invested in storm drain construction. Still, the NPP government has committed over GH¢300 million since assuming office to address this issue.

The Ministry relies on its ongoing Impact Roads Project to repair degraded roads in densely populated areas of the region. The Minister also mentioned that a 50-meter bridge on the Densu River at the Weija Dam was under construction, but a few structures near the construction site needed to be fixed.
