Strong financial, technical capacity non-negotiable for Accra-Kumasi Expressway – Agbodza
Government says firms seeking to undertake the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project must demonstrate strong financial and technical capacity, as it moves to ensure quality, value for money and timely delivery of the strategic road project.
Ghana's Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, emphasized that firms bidding for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway must showcase robust financial and technical capabilities. The procurement process will be stringent, transparent, and competitive, focusing on firms with expertise in projects of comparable scale. The project, a key component of President Mahama's infrastructure initiative, is crucial for enhancing mobility between Ghana's largest cities, reducing travel times and costs, and improving road safety.
The Accra-Kumasi corridor has been strained by population growth and increased freight and commercial activities, necessitating a long-term solution rather than incremental improvements to the existing N6. The expressway will also facilitate greater local participation, fostering skills transfer, technology transfer, and meaningful engagement by Ghanaian businesses.
The project's success hinges on selecting firms with the requisite technical expertise, financial strength, and experience.
