President John Dramani Mahama has announced that a feasibility study and design for a new Accra-Kumasi Expressway will soon commence, with sod-cutting expected early next year.
The announcement was made during a courtesy call by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Jubilee House.
President Mahama indicated that the project will be carried out under the government’s Big Push Infrastructure Programme and is scheduled to begin in early 2026.
“I am happy to report to you that we will soon undertake a feasibility study and design of the new Accra-Kumasi Expressway,” he said.
“We hope to be able to cut the sod early next year for work on this transformational project to commence.”
The proposed expressway is expected to significantly reduce travel time between Accra and Kumasi, enhance road safety, and stimulate economic activity along the corridor.
The initiative forms part of a broader national infrastructure agenda aimed at modernising Ghana’s transportation network and promoting regional integration and development.
