The Kasoa\u2013Winneba stretch of the coastal highway is expected to be completed by June 2026, Roads and Highways Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza has confirmed.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the progress of ongoing road projects on Channel One TV on Monday, November 24, Agbodza said, \u201cThe contractor says that by June next year it will all be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cFor the Winneba to Mankessim section, the contract allows for two years, but I am confident it will be completed before 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that once these projects are finished, the route from Kasoa to Takoradi will be fully dualised, enhancing connectivity between the Greater Accra and Central Regions.<\/p>\n
The Kasoa\u2013Winneba\u2013Mankessim project involves three separate contractors, while the Cape Coast to Takoradi section is handled by another.<\/p>\n
Agbodza, who is also the Member of Parliament for Adaklu, explained that the Cape Coast to Takoradi road is a larger project that links the two regions. Within the Central Region, the Kasoa\u2013Winneba and Winneba\u2013Mankessim sections are progressing steadily.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you travel from Winneba to Mankessim, we are building a brand new road alongside the existing one to dualise it. The Winneba interchange was not initially part of the project, but it has now been included,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Addressing the traffic bottlenecks experienced this year on the Kasoa\u2013Winneba section, the Minister acknowledged that construction planning had contributed to delays.\u00a0 \u201cWe made a mistake when we started working on the main carriageway and the expansion at the same time. This led to many of the bottlenecks we saw,\u201d he said.\u00a0 Once completed, the dual carriageway will significantly improve travel along the coastal corridor, supporting trade and easing congestion for motorists.<\/p>\n
