Accra-Kumasi Expressway construction expected to begin in January 2027 – CEO
Chief Executive Officer of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway Limited, Francis Ahlidza, says the construction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway is expected to officially begin in January 2027, following the completion of the right-of-way clearance for the project.
Francis Ahlidza, CEO of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway Limited, has announced that construction of the expressway is set to commence in January 2027. This date follows the completion of right-of-way clearance by the Ghana Armed Forces, who were responsible for defining the expressway's alignment. President Mahama is expected to officially mark the beginning of the project by cutting the sod before Christmas.
During an interview on Joy News' The Pulse, Mr. Ahlidza stated that the Ghana Armed Forces, under the Ministry of Roads and Highways and President Mahama's directive, deployed personnel, engineers, and equipment to clear the right of way. He emphasized that the recent handover ceremony signifies a significant milestone in the project, as the Ghana Armed Forces have successfully completed their task.
With the right of way now transferred, the project has moved into the procurement phase. Designs for the expressway have already been finalized, and the authorities are now inviting construction firms from around the world with the necessary capacity to express interest in the project. These firms will be evaluated, and subsequently, qualified companies will be invited to submit tenders.
The prequalification process aims to ensure that only firms possessing the technical capability to manage the project's complexity are considered for the tender stage.
