Why it matters
Infrastructure development is a critical driver for economic growth and logistics efficiency in developing nations like Ghana.
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, says less than 20 kilometres of clearing work remains before the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project reaches Kumasi.
He said the project has made significant progress, with only a short stretch left before the expressway links up with the Kumasi Orbiter, also known as the Kumasi Ring Road.
“We have less than 20 kilometres. I’m sure we have maybe around 10, 15 kilometres to hit Kumasi itself,” Mr Agbodza said on Friday.
The Accra-Kumasi Expressway is a flagship road project aimed at improving connectivity between Ghana’s two biggest cities while easing travel and boosting economic activity along the corridor.
