A 14.4 kilometer road from Kaleo to Takpo in the Nadowli-Kaleo District is being tarred with coal to improve its durability.

The road project was part of the critical roads earmarked for construction by the Nadowli-Kaleo District assembly headed by Mad am Katherine Lankono.

The road serves about 30 communities and each time the road got flooded all the communities got locked up and appealed to the government to take the construction of the road as a major priority to alleviate the plight of the people.
