Colonel Twumasi noted that the remaining 86.1 kilometres of the corridor are expected to be cleared within the next 13 weeks. He said, "The GAF Engineers have been tasked with executing one of the most important phases of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project, which is the clearing and stripping of the right of way.
