This is the result of the US$55.4 million Fish Town Harper Road Project, 66 kilometers of road that runs from Karloken to Harper City and Harper to the Cavalla Customs, funded by the African Development Bank. Fifty kilometers run from Karloken to Harper, and 16 km from Harper to the Cavalla Customs, where Liberia borders Cote d’Ivoire. Tubman University, established in 1978, boasts six colleges in a beautiful and serene setting along the Harper Road. According to the University’s President, Dr. Wreh Wilson, they are a direct beneficiary of the new road, socially and economically. Cecelia Smith a Harper resident and seafood vendor located in Baroken market along the road summed it up best saying “it’s super…no mistakes on this road.”
