"According to President Akufo-Addo, his administration has constructed more roads than the Mills/Mahama one did. During the sod-cutting event on July 15, 2024, for the Anwiankwanta-Ahenema Kokoben Road dualization project, President Akufo-Addo emphasized the noteworthy advancements achieved in the nation's road network since 2017. He claims that under his direction, 12,830 kilometers of roads have been finished, as opposed to 4,636 kilometers during the Mills/Mahama administration, which ran from 2009 to 2016. Here's a rewritten version of the text with a more neutral tone and a focus on the facts:
President Akufo-Addo highlighted the significant improvements made to Ghana's road network, emphasizing their positive impact on connectivity, economic activities, and quality of life. Despite these achievements, he acknowledged the ongoing demand for more roads, attributing it to the substantial road deficit inherited by his administration.
The President noted that 2,079 kilometers of roads have been completed in the Ashanti Region, including major upgrades and enhancements. Specific projects mentioned include the Suame Interchange, local road upgrades in Kumasi, and the construction of two bridges. A third bridge is substantially complete, enhancing regional connectivity.
Completed projects in the Ashanti Region include upgrading local roads in Kumasi, transforming the Lake Road into a dual carriageway, and upgrading selected feeder roads in Nyinahin. Ongoing projects include the Suame Interchange, expected to be completed in 2025.
President Akufo-Addo stressed the importance of continued investment in road infrastructure to address the country's road deficit and meet the evolving needs of the population. He encouraged future governments to maintain the momentum and build upon the foundations laid by his administration.
