Agbodza Drops Big Road Project Announcement

According to a report by Asaase News on Tuesday November 10, 2026, the government has announced plans to incorporate three major road projects into its flagship Big Push infrastructure programme as part of efforts to secure the necessary funding to ensure their completion.

The Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, disclosed that the Ashaiman Roundabout–Atimpoku Junction road project, the Tema–Aflao highway and the Bolgatanga–Bawku–Pulmakom road project are being considered for inclusion in the programme.

The proposed move is expected to provide a funding arrangement for the projects, which are considered important components of the country’s road infrastructure development agenda.

According to the minister, bringing the projects under the Big Push programme will help the government mobilise the financial resources required to complete the roads and improve transportation across the affected areas.

The Ashaiman Roundabout–Atimpoku Junction road is a major transportation route linking parts of Greater Accra and the Eastern Region. Its improvement is expected to ease movement for commuters and motorists who regularly use the corridor.

Similarly, the Tema–Aflao road serves as a critical route connecting communities along Ghana’s eastern coastal corridor.

The road is particularly important for commercial transportation, cross-border trade and the movement of goods between Ghana and neighbouring Togo.

The Bolgatanga–Bawku–Pulmakom road, on the other hand, is an important transport link in the Upper East Region, connecting several communities and facilitating economic activities, particularly trade and movement towards Ghana’s northern and eastern borders.

The government’s decision to consider the three projects for the Big Push programme highlights its intention to accelerate the country’s road infrastructure development while addressing funding challenges that could affect project completion.

The Big Push programme is a major infrastructure initiative aimed at improving road networks and strengthening connectivity across the country.

Agbodza’s announcement is expected to attract attention from residents, motorists, businesses and other stakeholders who have been looking forward to improvements in the affected road corridors.

The successful inclusion of the projects would provide an opportunity for the government to secure funding and advance work towards completing the roads.
