Agbodza directs road agencies to fast-track design approvals to prevent project delays
Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has directed consultants and road agencies to accelerate the review and approval of construction designs to prevent avoidable delays in the execution of road projects.
Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Minister for Roads and Highways, has instructed road agencies and consultants to expedite the design approval process for construction projects to prevent delays. At a recent inspection of the Suame Interchange project's Phase One and Two, Agbodza emphasized the need for contractors, consultants, and relevant agencies to gather in one meeting to discuss proposed changes and address technical issues promptly.
The Minister criticized the current practice of contractors submitting designs and waiting for feedback from consultants and government bodies for days or weeks. Agbodza urged the parties involved to resolve technical challenges on-site, stating that they cannot afford to wait a week to resolve such issues. He also proposed setting up temporary facilities at project sites to facilitate immediate discussions among stakeholders.
According to Agbodza, conducting on-site design reviews would allow consultants and other stakeholders to better comprehend the actual conditions on the ground and ensure that the proposed designs align with the project's requirements.
