Wednesday, June 18, 2025

The Kakata City Corporation is pleased to inform residents and the general public that ongoing construction work on the VIP Road is progressing steadily. The road, which connects several key communities—namely Bassa, Gbandi, and Kissi—and leads directly to the Bong Mines Road, is undergoing major rehabilitation aimed at improving transportation and access across the city. This important infrastructure project is part of the government’s broader commitment to enhance urban mobility, promote economic growth, and ensure better living conditions for residents. Once completed, the upgraded VIP Road will significantly ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time, and improve the movement of goods and services in and out of Kakata City.

City officials have praised the cooperation and patience shown by community members during the ongoing construction. “We appreciate the understanding of residents, especially those living along the Bassa, Gbandi, and Kissi corridors,” said the City Mayor. “This project may cause temporary inconveniences, but the long-term benefits will far outweigh the challenges.” The road construction includes grading, drainage improvements, and paving, with a strong focus on durability and resilience. Engineers are working diligently to ensure that the project meets national standards and is completed within the expected timeframe. Authorities are also encouraging pedestrians, motorists, and local businesses to adhere to all safety advisories posted in construction zones. The public is advised to exercise caution while traveling in and around affected areas to avoid delays and ensure the safety of workers and commuters alike. The Kakata City Corporation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works, assures citizens of its continued oversight and engagement with contractors to ensure the project remains on track.
