Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has revealed that the government plans to build the Accra\u2013Kumasi Expressway within three years, with commissioning expected in 2028.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 PM Express on Thursday, November 13, Dr Ato Forson described the expressway as one of three major infrastructure projects being prioritised by the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have three flagships. The first flagship is the Accra\u2013Kumasi expressway. The second is the Ekye-Amanfrom\u2013Adowso bridge, the one that connects to Afram Plains, and then the Dambai bridge,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The Minister said the expressway has already undergone a full technical assessment. However, he declined to disclose the project cost, noting that the procurement process is yet to begin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to tender, and I have the engineers\u2019 estimate, so you don\u2019t want to mention it for someone to know. It\u2019s going to go through tender and all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Ato Forson added that consultants had completed comprehensive designs, including detailed costing, and the project will be opened for competitive tender very soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree years. We plan to commission it in 2028,\u201d he confirmed when asked about the expected construction timeline.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
