Here Are Ashanti Regional Road Projects That Fall Within Govt’s Wider Agenda
The Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has outlined key ongoing and upcoming projects within the Ashanti Region which will receive funds for completion.
These projects, he said, fall within the government’s wider agenda for the Region.
They include the Suame Interchange and Local Roads, the Sunyani Road (Phase 2), the Konongo Bypass, and the forthcoming 45km Kumasi Outer Ring Road.
This assurance followed the signing of a ¥ 3 billion (Japanese Yen) grant agreement with JICA to make way for the improvement of the Kumasi Inner Ring Road.
As part of the project, he said 3.2 km of road between Santasi and Ahodwo Roundabouts will be widened; intersections with modern traffic signals will be upgraded; pedestrian facilities and drainage systems will be improved; and connectivity between Santasi Roundabout and the N8 will be enhanced.
The Inner Ring Road is a critical artery, linking the N6 and N8 within Kumasi and forming part of the Takoradi/Tema Ports–Ouagadougou Corridor.
