Commuters and motorists using the Darkuman–Dansoman Junction road are expressing growing frustration over the deteriorating condition of the stretch, which has become increasingly difficult to navigate following recent heavy rains and sewage blockages.
The road has developed large potholes, damaged sections of the carriageway, and poor drainage conditions, resulting in slower traffic movement, longer travel times, and safety concerns for both drivers and pedestrians.
Residents and commercial drivers say the situation has worsened in recent weeks, with overflowing sewage further affecting the condition of the road surface.
Reports indicate that flooding damaged parts of the stretch and that only temporary repair works have been carried out while authorities seek funding for a more permanent solution.
Many drivers say they are forced to slow down or maneuver around potholes, contributing to congestion, especially during peak morning and evening hours.
Traders operating along the road have also complained that the poor road condition and sewage situation are affecting their businesses by making it difficult for customers to access their shops.
Residents are calling for a comprehensive reconstruction of the road and improvements to the drainage system to address the recurring problem.
They are appealing to the government and relevant authorities to speed up permanent rehabilitation works before further rains worsen the situation.
