President John Dramani Mahama will formally hand over 175.6 kilometers of cleared right-of-way for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway on Monday, September 14, 2026, in Kwaso near Ejisu in the Ashanti Region. This cleared corridor is a significant milestone towards the construction of the 198.7-kilometer expressway, which will be Ghana's first modern six-lane, bi-directional Class A expressway.
The project, part of the government's Big Push infrastructure program, is expected to reduce travel time between Accra and Kumasi from approximately 250 kilometers to 198.7 kilometers, and halve the travel time, as well as reduce transport costs by nearly 40 percent. The expressway will feature major interchanges, service areas, bridges, and automated tolling facilities, passing through the Greater Accra, Eastern, and Ashanti Regions.
The project is projected to create over 30,000 direct and indirect jobs during construction and is expected to be fully government-funded, with a completion period of three years.
