President John Mahama has initiated the procurement process for the construction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway, with the Ghana Armed Forces anticipated to play a significant role as a key subcontractor. The expressway, according to the President, serves as a vital national infrastructure project, enhancing connectivity between the southern and northern regions of Ghana.
During a meeting with the Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs at the Presidency, Mahama praised the Ghana Armed Forces for clearing the project's right-of-way and handing it over to the government. The subsequent steps involve selecting a main contractor for the construction phase, with the military expected to remain involved as a major subcontractor.
Mahama expressed optimism that the project would be completed within three years, allowing for its official commissioning. The project's significance extends beyond linking Accra and Kumasi, as it promises to facilitate movement and commerce between regions, according to Nana Barima Twereku Ampem III, the Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs President.
