Sod-cutting for new Accra-Kumasi Expressway set for early next year – Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has announced the commencement of a feasibility study and design for the new Accra-Kumasi Expressway, a key infrastructure project set to transform Ghana’s transportation landscape.
Speaking during a courtesy call by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Jubilee House, President Mahama revealed that the government plans to begin work on this major project early next year, under the Big Push Infrastructure Programme.
“I am happy to report to you that we will soon undertake a feasibility study and design of the new Accra-Kumasi expressway,” the President said.
He added: “We hope to be able to cut the sod early next year for work on this transformational project to commence.”
The project aims to improve connectivity between the nation’s two largest cities—Accra and Kumasi. The expressway is expected to reduce travel time, enhance road safety, and stimulate economic activity along the corridor.
This project forms part of the government’s broader agenda to invest in major infrastructural developments nationwide, signaling a renewed commitment to modernizing Ghana’s road network and boosting regional development.
