During the sod-cutting ceremony for the dualization of the Anwiankwanta-Ahenema Kokoben Road on July 15, 2024, President Akufo-Addo detailed the extensive improvements made to the nation’s road network since 2017. He cited a total of 12,830 kilometers of roads completed under his leadership, contrasting with the 4,636 kilometers of roads completed during the Mills/Mahama era from 2009 to 2016.
The President enumerated various types of roadworks undertaken by his administration, including asphalt overlays, new constructions, graveling/re-graveling, reconstructions, partial reconstructions, rehabilitations, resealing, surfacing, and the construction of 35 crucial bridges. Additionally, six interchanges have been added, with ten more currently in progress.
President Akufo-Addo emphasized the positive impact of these developments on connectivity, economic activities, and the overall quality of life for Ghanaians. Despite these achievements, he acknowledged the ongoing demand for more roads, attributing it to the substantial road deficit inherited by his administration.
In the Ashanti Region alone, 2,079 kilometers of roads have been completed, including major upgrades and enhancements. President Akufo-Addo highlighted specific projects such as the construction of the Suame Interchange and the upgrading of local roads in Kumasi, which have significantly improved connectivity and transportation in the region.
The President also detailed ongoing projects, such as the construction of the Suame Interchange, which is expected to be completed in 2025. He stressed the importance of continued investment in road infrastructure to address the country’s road deficit and meet the evolving needs of the population.
As the ceremony concluded, President Akufo-Addo expressed his gratitude to the people of the Ashanti Region for their support and patience.
He assured them of the government’s unwavering commitment to delivering on its promises and improving the region’s infrastructure. The dualization of the Anwiankwanta-Ahenema Kokoben Road stands as a testament to this commitment, heralding a new era of development and prosperity for the Ashanti Region and beyond.
