Government officials are aiming to finish the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Polimakom Road in the Upper East Region of Ghana by the end of 2027. This 116.1-kilometer project, which started in 2016, has encountered significant delays after the contractor, QG Construction Limited, withdrew in 2022. Roads and Highways Minister Governs Kwame Agbodza announced this target during a visit to the region as part of his nationwide inspection of ongoing road projects.
The government is currently working to resolve outstanding payments of about €28 million to the contractor, which are impacted by the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme. Agbodza emphasized that the project is a top priority due to its strategic location and significance to trade and transportation, particularly its connections to Togo and Burkina Faso.
He also stressed the importance of completing other suspended road projects along the corridor by the same deadline. The completion of this road would enhance connectivity, boost cross-border trade, and alleviate transportation challenges for residents and businesses in the region.
