The Government of Ghana is engaging and funding eight local contractors in the dualisation of Accra-Kumasi Highway.<\/p>\n

This, according to the Deputy Finance Minister, Mrs Abena Osei-Asare, is in line with delivering on the promises of the New Patriotic Party government.<\/p>\n

Mrs Osei-Asare added that this forms part of the government\u2019s prioritised projects and though challenges may come, the government is burnt on fulfilling promises it made to the Ghanaian people.<\/p>\n

The Accra-Kumasi highway has seen some traffic jams at some portions. This the Deputy Minister of Finance says lowers productivity and movement of goods and services.<\/p>\n

She said funds will be released for the completion of the project. She gave the assurances when speaking with Adom News\u2019 Ohene Amponsah.<\/p>\n

Contractors are expected to come to site in the second week of June, 2023.<\/p>\n

The by-passes; the 11.6Km Osino by-pass, the 6.1 Km Anyinam by-pass, the 10.6Km Enyiresi by-pass and the 13.5Km; are part of the ongoing efforts by the government to dualise the Accra-Kumasi highway to reduce vehicular traffic and accidents as well as enhance the free movement of goods and people.<\/p>\n

The contractors are Justmoh Construction Limited (Osino South Bound Carriageway-Lot 1), First Sky Limited (Osino North Bound Carriageway-Lot 2), Hardwick Limited (Anyinam South Bound Carriageway-Lot 3) and Nag Fairmount Co. Limited (Anyinam North Bound Carriageway-Lot 4).<\/p>\n

The rest are Memphis Metropolitan Limited (Enyeresi South Bound Carriageway-Lot 5), Resources Access Limited (Enyeresi North Bound Carriageway -Lot 6), Joshob Construction Co. Limited (Konongo South Bound Carriageway-Lot 7) and Kofi Job Company Limited (Konogo North Bound Carriageway-Lot 8).<\/p>\n

The Deputy Minister of Finance, who doubles as MP for Atiwa East, underscored the economic importance of the project, part of which falls in her constituency.<\/p>\n

This, the MP explains, will be a sigh of relief for her people and assured them the government was committed to the development of Atiwa East and Ghana in general.<\/p>\n
