The expansion is estimated to be 44 Kilometer, which Presidential Press Secretary Isaac Solo Kelgbeh says will curb difficulties faced by the movements of vehicles on the current one lane. “Normally, you just have one lane going and one lane coming, so the president wants to expand it to four lanes,” Kelgbeh said. Kelgbeh maintained that the expansion of the RIA Road is in line with President Weah’s developmental agenda focused on road connectivity. Consequently, there have been calls for the expansion of that highway, something road users say will limit the risk the current road condition poses. The storage facility according to Kelgbeh, will serve as government reserve in case of gasoline shortage due to problems faced by the importers.
