Francis Ahlidza, CEO of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway Limited, has announced that the construction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway will commence in January 2027. This follows the completion of right-of-way clearance by the Ghana Armed Forces, who were responsible for clearing and defining the expressway's alignment. President John Dramani Mahama is expected to cut the sod before Christmas to mark the start of the actual work.
According to Ahlidza, the Ghana Armed Forces, under the direction of the Ministry of Roads and Highways and Mahama, deployed personnel, engineers, and equipment to clear the right of way. The handover ceremony, which took place recently, represents a significant milestone in the project, signifying the completion of the clearance process. With the right of way now in the hands of the authorities, the project has moved into the procurement phase.
Designs for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway have already been completed, and the government is now inviting construction firms worldwide to express interest in the project. Interested firms will undergo a prequalification process to ensure they possess the technical capacity to manage the project's complexity. Only qualified firms will be invited to submit tenders, guaranteeing that only capable companies proceed to the tender stage.
