The Government has released over GH¢500 million to two of the contractors working on the Eastern Corridor roads to enable them expedite work on the project. The contractors, Messrs G.S. International Developer GH Ltd and the China Jiangxi International Corp are the only two who were awarded the Government of Ghana fully funded programme in September 2011 and were expected to complete the project within 24 months. The Eastern Corridor Road The Eastern Corridor road is a national route N2, according to the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) classification. It starts from the Tema Motorway Roundabout in the Greater Accra Region and ends at Kulungugu in the Upper East Region on the north-eastern border with Burkina Faso. The road traverses the Greater Accra, Eastern, Volta, Northern and Upper East regions, covering 695 km, connecting major towns such as Tema, Atimpoku, Hohoe, Nkwanta, Bimbila, Yendi, Bawku and Kulungugu. Work so far done The G.S. International, which was awarded the 45km Asikuma Junction-Hohoe-Jasikan-Poase Cement stretch of the road, representing Lot Two of the Eastern Corridor road, has so far done only 13 per cent of the work. The China Jiangxi which is working on the Lot Four stretch on the Nkwanta-Oti Damanko portion of the road totalling 50km has so far done only 16 per cent of the work. The two contractors had abandoned the work. - See more at: graphic.gh/news/general-news/31466-two-contractors-receive-gh-500m-to-complete-eastern-corridor-roads.html#sthash.mytNr8gF.dpuf
