Engineers must use modern technology and data to improve road maintenance efforts across Ghana. This call comes from Lawrence Lamptey, the Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Maintenance at the Ghana Highway Authority.
Mr Lamptey stressed that well-maintained roads are vital for the country's progress. He stated that poorly built and poorly maintained roads are expensive and inconvenient for the public.
He encouraged engineers and officials to adopt advanced tools and methods. These tools can help identify issues and plan maintenance more effectively.
The Ghana Highway Authority is committed to improving the nation's road network. Better maintenance will lead to safer travel and support economic activities.
The Deputy CEO emphasized that good roads contribute significantly to national development. He urged for a shift towards more data-driven decision-making in road upkeep.
