President John Mahama is confident the Wa-Han road, part of the government's Big Push programme, will be completed by the end of 2027. The road was inspected during President Mahama's tour of the Upper West Region. It is a key project under Phase One of the Big Push, which focuses on roads linking regional capitals. The President described it as a vital connection between the Upper West and Upper East regions, noting its poor condition for decades.
He fondly recalled traveling along this route with his father's friend as a young child. President Mahama praised the contractor, highlighting their experience on other major road projects in the Upper West Region. He expressed confidence in the contractor's abilities and plans to consider them for future projects in the region.
The government's strategy is to complete major trunk roads before extending to feeder roads. Following the double surface dressing, the road will be fully sealed with asphalt to enhance durability and reduce maintenance needs. The President expressed optimism that the completed road will offer safer and more comfortable travel between Wa and Bolgatanga.
