Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has announced that the government’s Big Push Infrastructure Programme is delivering major investments in transport infrastructure, with 87 road and bridge projects currently under construction across all 16 regions of Ghana.
Presenting the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review in Parliament on Thursday, July 23, Dr Forson described the initiative as one of the largest coordinated investments in strategic transport infrastructure in the country’s recent history.
He said the projects comprise 74 trunk roads and bridges, 10 urban roads and three feeder roads aimed at improving connectivity, facilitating trade and supporting economic growth nationwide.
“The Government’s Big Push Infrastructure Programme is driving the largest coordinated investment in strategic transport infrastructure in recent years, with projects underway in all sixteen regions of the country,” he told Parliament.
According to the Finance Minister, significant progress has already been made on several of the projects.
He disclosed that by the end of June 2026, 13 projects had reached at least 50 per cent completion, with six of them exceeding 75 per cent completion. An additional 15 projects had progressed beyond the 25 per cent completion mark.
Dr Forson highlighted ongoing work on key road corridors, including the Kasoa–Winneba, Takoradi–Agona Junction, Ofankor–Nsawam, Adentan–Dodowa, Tema–Aflao, Tepa–Goaso, Penyi–Aflao, Wenchi–Sawla, Atimpoku–Ho–Aflao, Tumu–Han, Tumu–Navrongo and Winneba–Cape Coast–Takoradi roads.
He added that work is also progressing on major infrastructure projects such as Phase II of the Suame Interchange as well as the Sunyani, Tamale and Kumasi Outer Ring Roads.
The Finance Minister further noted that feeder road projects in the Eastern and Volta regions are improving access to farming communities and markets, boosting agricultural productivity and rural connectivity.
Dr Forson said government will accelerate implementation in the second half of the year by fast-tracking projects nearing completion, improving contractor performance and removing implementation bottlenecks.
He said the investments underscore government’s commitment to expanding transport infrastructure, enhancing mobility and supporting long-term economic transformation across the country.
