According to the MTTU, the road was not designed for heavy duty trucks and so continuos use by these trucks will deteriorate the road before its life span.
The Public Affairs Director of the National MTTU, Inspector Simon Tenku told Frontline that the research conducted by the MTTU into the recent use of the road by heavy trucks due to the construction work on the Nsawam-Suhum road, has revealed that accidents on the road involving heavy duty trucks have increased.
He explained that the MTTU have plans to monitor and make sure that heavy trucks do not use the road anymore.
Inspector Tenku added that that though there was no legislation to back their actions, the MTTU had been given powers to take such discretionary decisions when it is necessary.
He warned that anyone found breaking the rule would be dealt with drastically.
