Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, has held a high-level meeting with the World Bank Regional Director for Infrastructure, Mr Franz R. Dress-Cross, to explore strategies aimed at strengthening Ghana\u2019s road infrastructure.<\/gwmw><\/p>\n

The engagement took place earlier today as part of government\u2019s ongoing efforts to boost connectivity and transport efficiency across the country.<\/p>\n

Key areas of discussion included the reintroduction of road tolls, technical support for effective road contract management, and the de-capping of the Road Fund to ensure consistent financing for road maintenance.<\/p>\n

Also highlighted were budgetary considerations for the Kumasi Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (KUMAP), as well as other priority projects being pursued by the Ministry.<\/p>\n

Agbodza reiterated the Ministry\u2019s focus on road maintenance throughout the year, stressing the importance of preserving existing infrastructure while pushing ahead with new developments.<\/p>\n

\"Kwame<\/figure>\n

He underscored the critical role of international partnerships in achieving these goals, especially through sustained collaboration with institutions like the World Bank.<\/p>\n

He also reaffirmed the government\u2019s resolve to deliver 12 major road projects under the \u201cBIG PUSH\u201d initiative, which forms a central pillar of President Mahama\u2019s vision to enhance road interconnectivity nationwide.<\/p>\n

The initiative seeks to bridge infrastructure gaps and facilitate inclusive development across urban and rural communities alike.<\/gwmw><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
