A new road (known in the 1990s as the 4th Republic Road) connected Kanka directly to Ahenkro, first as a grated road and, after completion of Bui Dam, as a paved road. Viewed here from the north edge of Kanka, looking northward, Ahenkro is visible in the distance. 18 June, 2016.
Road leading into Ahenkro from the south with the Banda hills in the background. Two cell phone towers are visible on the south edge of town and electrical power lines run along the east side of the road. The new market building located on the south side of Ahenkro is visible at the point where the road curves in the distance. A motorized three-wheeled car and a motor cycle travel on the road ahead. Ahenkro, 19 June, 2016.
View to the south on the Bongase road, roughly 1.7 km west of Bongase. The peak known as 'Chuli' is visible in mountain range to the right. 12 June, 2009.
View to the south on the Bongase road, roughly 3 km southwest of Bongase, with Banda hills visible to the right. The low area (ahead in the road) was inundated by flood waters as the lake formed behind Bui Dam after 2013. A bypass had to be constructed as this road became passable only by a narrow foot bridge. 12 June, 2009.
An aerial view of Banda area settlements and roads, looking southeastward from the north side of Banda-Ahenkro, district administrative center since 2012 of the Banda District in Ghana's Bono (formerly Brong-Ahafo) Region. The linear range of Banda hills is visible in the background (right, top) with the compact core of Banda-Ahenkro center photo. To the west (right) and north (bottom), Ahenkro's houses are more dispersed than in its compact and older core. The left-hand fork of a Y-shaped road (center photo) is the main road that leads south towards Sabiye and Bofie to Menji. The right-hand fork is the now-bypassed old main road between Ahenkro and Kabruno. The road that extends horizontally across the left side of the photo is the paved road that extends from the Banda junction to the Wenchi-Bamboi road (N12). The clustered villages visible south of Ahenkro include Kanka, Kabruno, Sase, Gbao, Dompofie and Makala. To the west (photo's far right) of the Y-Junction, toward the base of the Banda hills, are light-green rectangular areas devoid of trees. These are fields once cleared for tobacco cultivation and now put to other forms of mono-cropping (single crop farming). To the east of Ahenkro (photo's far left) the angular straight edges and lighter green color of a cashew plantation stand out from the surrounding vegetation. Cashew has become an increasingly important cash crop grown in the area since the early 2000s. Two photos. Ahenkro, 25 June, 2019.
