Accra, Ghana — September 2026: The Government of Ghana is set to take another major step towards the development of the Accra–Kumasi Expressway Project with the official handing over of the cleared right-of-way for the project.

The event is being organised in collaboration between the Ministry of Roads and Highways and the Ghana Armed Forces, highlighting the role of inter-agency cooperation in facilitating major road infrastructure projects.
Clearing the way for a major transport corridor
The right-of-way clearance represents an important preparatory milestone for the proposed Accra–Kumasi Expressway, one of Ghana's strategic road infrastructure projects intended to improve connectivity between the country's capital and the Ashanti Region.
The Accra–Kumasi corridor is one of Ghana's most important transport routes, supporting the movement of people, goods and commercial traffic between southern and central parts of the country.
The clearance of the project corridor is expected to facilitate subsequent stages of project implementation, including construction and related infrastructure works.
