GAF to formally hand over Accra-Kumasi Expressway Right-of-Way clearance

President John Dramani Mahama will serve as the Special Guest of Honour at a ceremony on Sunday, 14 September 2026, marking the formal handing over of the right-of-way clearance for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway Project. The Ministry of Roads and Highways, in collaboration with the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), will host the event at Ejisu Kwaso in the Ashanti Region at 11:00 a.m. The GAF Engineers successfully completed the clearance of 175.6 kilometres of right-of-way in just 19 weeks, a week ahead of the original 20-week schedule, working in collaboration with the Ministries of Defence, Finance, and Roads and Highways.

The cleared corridor will pave the way for the next phase of the project, including detailed design finalisation and the procurement of contractors for the main construction works, ultimately reducing travel time between Ghana's two largest cities from six hours to approximately two hours.
