The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has disclosed that the government has settled $29.5 million owed to contractors working on the Suame Road project.
He made this known during an inspection tour of the project on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, noting that the move forms part of efforts to ensure the smooth continuation of ongoing road works across the country.
According to the minister, the government remains committed to completing all inherited road projects and has taken steps to address outstanding financial obligations that have slowed progress.
Mr Agbodza further revealed that an additional GH₵3 billion has been approved to accelerate construction and enhance the quality of work on the Suame Road project.
“We are still back on schedule to complete the interchange itself. We are not taking a cedi out of the interchange project, we are rather adding GH₵3 billion to enhance it,” he stated.
He indicated that while the overall project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, some sections currently under construction will be ready earlier.
“We intend to complete this project by the end of 2028 but the section on which we are standing now will be completed by the end of this year,” he added.
