President John Dramani Mahama is expected to inspect progress on the Kasoa–Winneba road today, as work continues on the broader dualization of the Winneba–Cape Coast corridor.
The visit comes amid steady progress on the Winneba–Mankessim stretch, a key component of the project aimed at improving connectivity along Ghana’s coastal highway.
According to the Ministry of Roads and Highways, the 24-kilometre dualization project, which began in December 2025, is currently about 25 percent complete and remains on track for completion in November 2027.
Engineers have so far completed site clearing, as well as major culverts and drainage systems. Work is also advancing on subbase and base formation, alongside the construction of interchanges at Apam Junction and Otaw.
Scope and Key Infrastructure
The project covers a wide range of infrastructure upgrades designed to improve safety and efficiency. These include asphalt surfacing, pedestrian underpasses, street lighting, and the installation of road furniture and bus stops.
Officials say the development is intended to modernise the highway while accommodating increasing traffic volumes.
When completed, the dualized road is expected to significantly ease congestion and reduce travel time between Accra and key coastal cities such as Cape Coast and Takoradi.
Authorities believe the improved road network will also support economic activity by facilitating the movement of goods and people, strengthening links between regional hubs and the national capital.
