President John Evans Atta Mills has expressed concern about the traffic situation in Accra and other urban centres as he begins his tour of Greater Accra Region. He has therefore asked road engineers and the city planners to collaborate with the government to find a lasting solution to the problem. President Mills expressed the concern when he inspected progress of work on the Accra Polo Grounds-Spintex Road Bypass and the Tetteh Quarshie-Pantang Road. President Mills was happy with the progress of work so far and appealed to the contractors to finish on the scheduled date. He was briefed on the Polo Grounds-Spintex Road project by the AMA Metro Director of Roads, Abbas Awuni. In an interview with Radio Ghana�s Presidential Correspondent, Mr Awuni assured the public that the $ 38m Accra Polo Grounds-Spintex Road project will be completed on schedule. He said work is progressing as scheduled with 75% of the work completed. The three-day tour of the Greater Accra Region will see the President inaugurate completed projects, cut sod for new ones and also inspect ongoing projects. It is the eighth region to be toured by President Mills since the beginning of the year. The tour brings to the fore, the numerous projects the government has embarked on since assuming political office in 2009. The President has already paid visits to Upper East, Upper West, Northern, Brong Ahafo, Ashanti, Eastern and Western Regions.
