The University of Ghana is installing labour-intensive sidewalks everywhere. As the photo below shows, the first step is emplacing a barrier of cement blocks by hand. Next, workers use pick-axes to remove the sod between the cement-block barrier and the open gutter. Thereafter, black plastic and gravel are layered. Bricks are laid, and sand is spread atop the strata.
The work has been ongoing throughout campus all semester. Someone got a nice contract to do all this work!
