The Accra–Kumasi Bypasses have received a new lease of life, with all contractors now back on site to resume construction on the various sections of the project.
During an inspection tour of the project sites, Hon. Kwame Agbodza reaffirmed the government’s commitment to completing the bypass projects, with all works targeted for completion by the end of 2027.
“This road project will be completed, just like our other priority projects. This is also a priority project for government,” he reiterated.
Contractors on the various project sites also expressed their commitment to completing the works within schedule.

Meanwhile, rehabilitation of the existing Accra–Kumasi Highway is ongoing.
Contractors handling the rehabilitation of the existing corridor are carrying out sectional maintenance of the heavily deteriorated parts of the road.
This will be followed by an asphaltic overlay on the entire corridor.
Hon. Agbodza appealed to motorists using the road to exercise patience and drive cautiously as the government works to address congestion and improve the road.
“All drivers on the existing Accra–Kumasi Highway, please exercise patience. We need you alive. Let us not use haste, overspeeding, and wrong manoeuvres to lose any life. We are going to complete this project and create more capacity so that you can drive at a more consistent speed between Accra and Kumasi,” he emphasized.
