Road construction on the Accra–Kumasi bypass has resumed following the return of contractors to various project sections, signaling renewed progress on Ghana's major road corridor. During an inspection, Roads and Highways Minister Kwame Agbodza announced government's commitment to finishing the bypasses by the end of 2027. The contractor teams managing the different segments expressed confidence in meeting the scheduled completion dates.
Current progress on the bypass sections reveals that the Osino South Bound is 77% complete, the Osino North Bound 70%, the Anyinam South Bound 74.6%, and the Anyinam North Bound nearly finished at 99%. The Enyiresi South Bound is at 65%, the Enyiresi North Bound 64%, the Konongo South Bound 74%, and the Konongo North Bound 60%. Once completed, these bypasses aim to alleviate congestion and provide additional capacity on the highly congested Accra–Kumasi route.
Simultaneously, ongoing repairs on the existing Accra–Kumasi Highway seek to maintain its functionality while new bypasses are being constructed. Minister Agbodza urged motorists using the current highway to exercise caution, patience, and safe driving practices, warning against reckless driving that could lead to loss of life. He emphasized government's dedication to completing the projects and enhancing transportation capacity for smoother travel between the two cities.
