The Government has commenced 87 transport infrastructure projects across all 16 regions under its Big Push Infrastructure Programme, with work progressing on major road, bridge and feeder road projects nationwide, Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato-Forson has announced.
Presenting the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review in Parliament on Thursday, Dr Ato-Forson said the projects comprise 74 trunk roads and bridges, 10 urban roads and three feeder roads, all at various stages of implementation.
“Government’s Big Push Infrastructure Programme is driving the largest coordinated investment in strategic transport infrastructure in recent years, with projects underway in all sixteen regions of the country,” he said.
According to the Finance Minister, as of the end of June 2026, 13 projects had reached at least 50 per cent completion, with six of them exceeding 75 per cent completion. A further 15 projects had progressed beyond the 25 per cent completion mark.
He said major projects currently under construction include the Kasoa–Winneba, Takoradi–Agona Junction, Ofankor–Nsawam, Tepa–Goaso, Adentan–Dodowa, Tema–Aflao, Penyi–Aflao, Wenchi–Sawla, Atimpoku–Ho–Aflao, Tumu–Han–Lawra, Tumu–Navrongo and Winneba–Cape Coast–Takoradi roads.
Other key projects include Phase II of the Suame Interchange, as well as the Sunyani, Tamale and Kumasi Outer Ring Roads.
Dr Ato-Forson added that feeder road projects in the Eastern and Volta regions were also progressing to improve access between farming communities and markets.
He said the government would prioritise accelerating projects nearing completion during the second half of the year, while improving contractor performance and addressing implementation bottlenecks to ensure timely delivery.
The Finance Minister also announced plans to construct the Adawso–Ekye Amanfrom Bridge across the Afram River.
“The Adawso–Ekye Amanfrom Bridge, a 3.6-kilometre permanent bridge, will be the longest in Ghana and will replace the ferries, providing a safe, reliable and all-weather crossing,” he said.
He noted that the bridge is expected to be completed by the end of 2028 and will connect the Kwahu Afram Plains to the national road network.
Providing an update on the Dambai Bridge project, Dr Ato-Forson said the project comprises a 1.49-kilometre bridge and approximately 6.8 kilometres of approach roads linking Dambai and Dodoikope along the Eastern Corridor.
“By the end of June 2026, physical progress had reached six per cent, slightly ahead of schedule, with foundation works and construction of the temporary bridge already underway,” he said.
