The Accra-Kumasi Expressway project is nearing construction, with the government touting it as a defining legacy for President John Dramani Mahama's administration. Roads and Highways Minister, Governor Kwame Agbodza, highlighted the significance of the initiative in leaving a lasting mark on Ghana's road infrastructure. The project has moved forward following the Ghana Armed Forces' completion of clearing the entire Accra-Kumasi corridor, thus removing a critical obstacle ahead of detailed design and procurement stages.
Governor Agbodza emphasized that this expressway represents more than a routine road development; it is an investment meant to endure for generations. He stated that the 70-year milestone of Ghana's existence warrants a remarkable feat from the current generation to secure its place in history. The minister cited past achievements such as the Tema Motorway and the Port of Tema, stressing that the nation must continue to contribute impactful infrastructure projects to its legacy.
Once the right-of-way clearance is finished, the government anticipates progressing with the technical and procurement processes before commencing construction on this major road link between Ghana's two most populous cities.
