The 64km Ashaiman to Akosombo Junction Road project has resumed after a nearly year-long pause.
This initiative, part of the Eastern Corridor Road upgrade (Lot 1), includes several critical components: the construction of a dual carriageway from Ashaiman Roundabout to Akosombo Junction, a flyover at Ashaiman Roundabout, an interchange at Asutsuare Junction, and the addition of 11 pedestrian footbridges and three river bridges.
Other enhancements include drainage systems and walkways.
Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye, the Minister for Roads and Highways, recently visited the site during his trip to the Volta and Oti regions to review the ongoing work.
Currently, the contractor is focusing on earthworks between Asutsuare Junction and Akuse Junction to expand the road into a dual carriageway. Additionally, new work sites have opened up, including site clearing from Doryumu Junction towards Asutsuare Junction.
The project, which commenced in May 2022 and is scheduled for completion by November 2024, experienced a suspension starting in July 2023 due to the government’s debt exchange programme.
