Several communities with poor road networks are struggling with flooded roads following rains in the northern part of Ghana.
This has led to the destruction of businesses, disruption of daily activities, delays, absenteeism from work and school, and difficulty accessing emergency services.
Many of these challenges stem from roads that are either unconstructed, in deplorable condition, or lacking proper drainage systems to contain floodwaters.
A key example is the road linking Tunayili Last Stop to the Islamic Senior High School, which gets inundated daily, further worsening the situation.
The Sagnarigu Municipality has a total road network of about 50,000 kilometers, but only an estimated 500 kilometers are in good condition.
