The Minister for Finance, Mohammed Amin Adam has said the government has increased the country’s road network from 78,000km to 100,000km.
Presenting the 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament Tuesday (23 July) the minister said the investments put into road network expansion and improvement and the outcomes are unmatched.
“We increased the road network from 78,000km to nearly 100,000km,” as well as “the construction of over 2,000km of asphaltic overlay as well as the rehabilitation and maintenance of about 11,674km of roads,” Amin Adam noted.
With about GHC10 billion invested into the road sector since January 2024, Amin Adam assured Ghanaians of the goverment’s efforts to enhance transportation and spur growth.
To consolidate the improvement of the road sector, Amin Adam revealed that the government has secured equipment to complement the efforts of the local authorities.
In terms of increasing economic growth, under the Economic Roads Improvement Programme (ERIP), roads will be built to connect producing areas to market centres and to key tourist sites.
Accordingly, certain critical economic roads have been prioritised such as the Accra-Kumasi highway, which has been ongoing for 15 years, the Accra-Takoradi highway, the Takoradi-Agona Nkwanta Junction and Tema-Afienya.
