President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured that contractors working on the Suame interchange project will complete the first phase by the end of 2024.
He revealed that work has also started on the main interchange project.
He assured of his government’s commitment to the timely completion of the entire project. This follows persistent complaints by motorists on the stretch.
“The Akufo-Addo government remains focused on its commitment to dualising of roads in densely populated areas along our major corridors. A key initiative to demonstrate our dedication to decongesting these vital regions.
“The strategic projects we’re initiating such as the dualisation of the Ofankor-Nsawam road, and the Adenta road, are not merely infrastructure projects, it’s also a confirmation of the government’s approach to solving real-life challenges.
“Government is committed to replicate such successful initiatives along other corridors of the region such as Suame Roundabout to Tafo-Pankrono…Another important project in the region is the construction of the Suame Interchange, the project is progressing steadily.
“The overpass on the Offinso road, Anomangye-Magazine road, Abusuakurowa, as well as 15 kilometres of the road around Suame roundabout are some 40% complete. It is programmed that these overpasses will be successfully completed before the end of this year.”
The President made this assurance when he cut the sod for the commencement of a 20-kilometre dualisation of the Anhwiankwanta-Ahenema Kokoben road.
“The dualisation of the Ahenema Kokoben road is part of measures to improve the conditions of the road network in the Ashanti Region. These measures are targeted at reducing travel times, lowering vehicle operating cost and improving safety.”
He directed contractors working on the project to ensure safety measures to reduce the stress of motorists.
