Accra-Kumasi Expressway will be Mahama’s major road legacy – Agbodza
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has described the Accra-Kumasi Expressway as one of President John Dramani Mahama’s major legacy projects in Ghana’s road sector.
Ghana's Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has hailed the Accra-Kumasi Expressway as a significant legacy of President John Dramani Mahama in the country's road sector. This assessment follows the ongoing clearance of the right-of-way along the entire expressway corridor, which has cleared the path for detailed design and procurement stages ahead of construction work.
Addressing the media, Mr. Agbodza emphasized that the government is now focused on finalizing the detailed design and initiating procurement processes to identify and select suitable contractors for the expressway's construction. The minister described the project as a generational intervention, symbolizing a lasting contribution to Ghana's infrastructure development.
"Accra-Kumasi Expressway is our generational intervention," he stated. "We are celebrating our 70th year. The President's vision is that we should make something remarkable that the generations that come after us will acknowledge that we did something significant during our tenure." Mr. Agbodza also referenced past leaders, noting that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and others had made significant contributions to Ghana's infrastructure, including the Tema Motorway and the port.
However, he stressed that the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project would ensure Ghana's place in history.
