The Bibiani–Attakrom road has become a major source of frustration for motorists, residents and business owners who rely on the stretch for daily activities. Large potholes, eroded sections and stagnant water have turned the once busy road into a risky route, slowing movement and causing frequent vehicle breakdowns. Drivers say the situation worsens anytime it rains, making the road nearly impassable.
Commuters have expressed deep concern over the growing neglect, describing the poor state of the road as a hindrance to socio-economic development in the area. Many believe the deteriorating condition has contributed to delays in transporting goods, increased transport fares and reduced business activity. According to them, communities along the road are slowly becoming cut off due to the hazards they face whenever they attempt to travel.
Traders who transport foodstuffs from Attakrom to Bibiani say they struggle to reach the market on time, often recording losses due to spoilage of perishable goods. Some drivers have also reported damage to their vehicles, with many spending significant amounts on constant repairs. They argue that the cost of maintaining their vehicles is gradually outweighing the income they generate from their work.
Residents also link the poor road network to a lack of development opportunities, arguing that investors and service providers hesitate to operate in areas with bad roads. They fear that if nothing is done urgently, sectors such as education, health and agriculture will suffer further setbacks, deepening the region’s developmental challenges. Community leaders have therefore appealed to government to consider the road as a priority project.
Some motorists lament that previous promises to fix the road have not been fulfilled, leaving them feeling abandoned. They are demanding immediate intervention from authorities, noting that the worsening state of the road poses serious safety risks. According to them, delays in rehabilitation could lead to accidents, especially during night-time travel when visibility is low.
Residents and motorists are therefore calling on the government, the Ghana Highway Authority and relevant agencies to take swift action to address the situation. They insist that the road’s condition is no longer just an inconvenience but a major obstacle to growth and quality of life. Many believe that repairing the Bibiani–Attakrom road will open up economic opportunities and restore hope to the affected communities.
