About 51 kilometres of the proposed Accra-Kumasi Expressway corridor have been cleared as the Ghana Armed Forces presses ahead with the initial phase of the flagship infrastructure project, Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has announced.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, May 28, 2026, Dr Forson praised the military for what he described as “phenomenal work” on the project, which is being undertaken under the direction of President John Dramani Mahama.
“Steadily, deliberately, and with remarkable professionalism, the foundation is being laid for what will become one of Ghana’s most strategic and economically transformative corridors,” he said.
The Finance Minister also disclosed that payment of compensation to residents affected by the project would begin in June, following assessments by the relevant state agencies.
The Accra-Kumasi Expressway is expected to improve connectivity, ease transportation challenges, and boost trade and economic activity along one of Ghana’s busiest road corridors.
