“The

The

the

across
densely
populated
areas.
This
effort
aims
to
reduce
travel
times,
lower
vehicle
operating
costs,
and

The

will
significantly
benefit
local
communities

the
supervision
of
the
Ministry

and
Highways

Authority.
President

urged
the
contractor
to
implement
effective
traffic
management
measures
to
minimize
disruptions
during
the
construction
phase.
“Our
government
remains
committed
to
decongesting
urban
areas
and
improving
the
overall
infrastructure
of
our
nation.
This
project
is
a
testament
to
our
dedication
to
solving
real-life
challenges
and
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
for
Ghanaians,”
the
President
remarked.
The
dualization
of
the
Anwiankwanta-Ahenema
Kokoben
Road
is
expected
to
be
a
transformative
development
for
the
Ashanti
Region,
reflecting
the
government’s
proactive
approach
to
infrastructure
development
and
economic
growth.
The
President
also
outlined
other
significant
road
projects
underway
in
the
region.
These
include
the
dualization
of
the

Additionally,
the

is
focused
on
replicating
such
initiatives
along
other
road
corridors
within
the
region,
such
as
the
