President has inspected ongoing work on the Kasoa–Winneba road dualisation project, urging contractors to expedite construction to ensure the timely delivery of the critical infrastructure.
The inspection took place along the busy corridor in the Central Region, where the President assessed the progress of the $180 million project aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving road safety.
Speaking during the visit, President Mahama acknowledged the steady pace of work but stressed the need for contractors to accelerate efforts to complete the project ahead of schedule. He noted that the Kasoa–Winneba stretch remains one of the most heavily used routes in the country, serving as a major link between Accra and other parts of the Central and Western Regions.
He emphasised that delays in completing the project continue to inconvenience commuters and affect economic activities along the corridor. As such, he called for improved coordination among stakeholders to fast-track the remaining phases of construction.
The President reiterated government’s commitment to providing the necessary financial support to ensure the smooth execution of the project, adding that no effort would be spared in delivering quality road infrastructure to Ghanaians.
The dualisation project is expected to significantly reduce travel time, enhance safety, and boost trade by facilitating the movement of goods and services along the route. It also forms part of broader efforts to modernise the country’s road network and support national development.
Residents and commuters who have long endured heavy traffic and poor road conditions welcomed the President’s visit, expressing hope that the renewed attention would lead to faster completion of the project.
Authorities say once completed, the upgraded Kasoa–Winneba road will transform transportation along the corridor and contribute to economic growth in the region.
