Adamus Resources Limited, a gold mining company, is to construct a road from its operational site to link the main Elubo-Takoradi highway.
The company and its sub-contractors are to employ labour from the communities of their operations.
At the fourth public hearing on the operations of the company in the Salman community, its management gave an assurance that it would not use the existing access roads in the communities because of the possible effects the heavy equipment would have on the roads.
The new road, it said, would also ensure that traffic congestion and road accidents were reduced to the barest minimum.
The Business Development Director of the company, Mr Mark Addo, said the design for the road had been done and precautions taken to reduce the environmental impact of the road construction.
“The area has many rivers and streams passing through its rich forests and we will use enough culverts to ensure that we do not divert the free flow of these water bodies,” he said.
He said even though the company had held a series of public hearings organised by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it was important to notify the community to be aware of the new developments.
Mr Addo said social and industrial harmony was very important to its operations and it would always consult the people to ensure that they were part of decision-making at all levels.
The people commended Adamus for working closely with them and employing the youth from Nzemaland.
