She said the feeder road project will include the construction of a bridge over Ntereso river (black Volta) making it more accessible and safer for motorists.
“This project when completed will improve the nature of development in this part of the district and will also make it easy for security operatives to monitor criminal activities in Dollar power ad other mining communities here”; she added.
