According to the President, to be able to support the agricultural transformation of the Afram Plains, there would be the need to develop road network in the are.
Based on that, the Government has considered the road network in the area under the Big Push Agenda, with the intention of constructing a bridge over the River Afram and reshaping all road networks in the area.
