Twelve (12) companies have submitted bids to operate Ghana’s reintroduced electronic road toll system, according to the Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza.
Speaking during the Government Accountability Series on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, the minister revealed that the Ministry has launched a concessionaire pre-qualification process as part of plans to modernise toll collection in the country.
“A public advertisement was issued, and a pre-qualification conference was held on July 3, 2025. So far, 12 firms have submitted applications, which are currently under evaluation,” Mr. Agbodza said.
He added that the Ministry has also submitted proposed new toll rates to Parliament through the Ministry of Finance for approval.
“All tolling will be done electronically. There will be no physical barriers on any road. The tolls will apply only to engineered roads,” he noted.
The reintroduction of road and bridge tolls comes after Cabinet approval, with the goal of improving road maintenance funding. According to Mr. Agbodza, the new system will prioritise transparency, revenue auditability, user convenience, and reduced congestion at toll points.
The shift to automated tolling is part of a broader infrastructure reform agenda, aimed at ensuring sustainable financing for Ghana’s road network.
