The reconstruction of the Sunyani-Techiman-Wenchi-Wa-Hamile road corridor is set to begin in the third quarter of this year, according to Kwame Agbodza, the Minister for Roads and Highways. This project is part of the government’s “Big Push” initiative, aimed at boosting road infrastructure development ¹.
The Minister has directed the Ghana Highways Authority to conduct engineering studies and designs for sections of the corridor not currently under construction. Agbodza emphasized the importance of expediting the work, stating that the project is one of the “Big Push” initiatives to be awarded in June this year.
During his three-day inspection tour of the Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, and Western Regions, Hon. Agbodza highlighted the socio-economic importance of roads in national development. He stressed that roads are critical for achieving goals in farming, education, and healthcare, and that economic development cannot take shape without addressing challenges in the road sector.
The Minister’s tour also included inspections of various road projects, including the reconstruction of the Jinijini-Sampa Road, the Tepa-Goso road, and the dualization of the Takoradi-Agona Junction Road.
