Takoradi–Agona Nkwanta road to open to traffic by November – Contractor
The 23-kilometre Takoradi–Agona Nkwanta road is expected to be opened to traffic in November 2026, following an acceleration of rehabilitation and dualisation works on the project.
Justmoh Construction Limited's Managing Director, Dr. Justice Amoh, revealed that the 23-kilometer Takoradi–Agona Nkwanta road is set to open to traffic in November 2026, four months ahead of schedule. The announcement came during an inspection by the Minister of Roads and Highways, Govern Kwame Agbodza, on September 16. The contractor has mobilized substantial resources to expedite construction and anticipates the road's readiness by the end of November 2026, surpassing the original completion date of March 19, 2027.
The project, which includes dualizing the existing single carriageway and constructing four major bridges, faced a two-year delay due to funding and payment issues. However, the situation improved after the government released $78 million in outstanding payments, enabling the contractor to accelerate work and deploy additional resources.
Once completed, the upgraded road is expected to enhance connectivity and ease movement along the Takoradi–Agona Junction corridor. The team is currently focusing on road safety measures, including guardrails and road line markings, but remains concerned about axle-load violations.
