The Vice President Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia has revealed that since 2017, the Akufo-Addo’s Government had asphalted a total of 595 km of roads in urban areas, particularly in Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, and Takoradi.
According to him, there are ongoing 84-km Accra inner-city roads and 100-km Kumasi inner-city roads being funded under the Sinohydro Development Project Agreement, whilst various feeder roads upgrading were underway across the sub-urban areas to boost economic activities and productivity.
Dr. Bawumia said this when he cuts the sod for the construction of $100 million Accra-Tema Beach Road Improvement Project.
The project, totaling 26.6 kilometres, starts from the Black Star Square through to Tema Community Three, which forms part of the Accra Metropolitan Intelligence Traffic Management System, and would be completed within 24 months.
The project is being constructed by the Messrs Gansu International Corporation for Economic and Technical Cooperation and Messrs China Major Bridge Engineering Company Limited.
