To this end, the government signed eight separate contracts, to the sum of GHc2 billion, for the programme.
The Chairman of the Roads and Transport Committee in Parliament and Member of Parliament for Akim Swedru, Kennedy Osei Nyarko made this announcement.
He stressed that “the government is carrying out these projects with the vision to reduce accidents on this stretch and manage the heavy traffic flow for motorists and other road users.
“These are contracts the government has already awarded; the companies are the biggest construction companies currently in Ghana with the most resources,” he noted.
