The 7-kilometre road is in such a deplorable condition that it is increasingly becoming difficult for commuters and motorists to use it. Some motorists who spoke to Joy News said promises by past governments to have the road fixed during election years have not been fulfilled. "The road is very terrible, very bad," a driver said, adding the broken promises of previous governments have made it difficult to believe the road would ever be fixed. He said some residents have had miscarriage and others have asthma due to the constant inhaling of the dust on the bumpy road.
