Mahama promises relief for commuters as Kasoa-Winneba road works progress
John Mahama assured motorists of soon-to-come relief after inspecting ongoing construction works on the Kasoa-Winneba corridor. He said, "I can understand the frustration of commuters on this road, but as the minister said, help is on the way. I have inspected the road, I have seen the progress of work, the quality of work, and I think the contractor has done a good job." He also indicated optimism that the stretch could be opened to traffic earlier than anticipated, hoping to open the whole stretch from Kasoa to Winneba by the end of the year or at least in the first quarter of next year.
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, reaffirmed the government's commitment to completing inherited road projects, highlighting substantial financial commitments already made. He stated that John Mahama directed that no road project he inherited should be suspended, and as of last month, he had paid over GHS12 billion to projects he inherited. The contractor outlined safety measures being integrated into the design, including provision for 15 grade-separated pedestrian crossings.
The contractor expects to complete all work by March 2027, but efforts are underway to accelerate completion ahead of schedule, potentially by December 31st of this year. The contractor assured that there is enough funding to complete the project.
