Additional works include a 550m storm drain and a 40m outfall concrete-lined channel to improve drainage and flood resilience.
When completed, the corridor will serve as a vital link between Dodowa, Afienya, and Dawhenya, enhancing connectivity and supporting the movement of goods between Accra and surrounding districts.
The Minister of Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwame Agbodza, visited the site as part of an inspection tour of ongoing projects in the Greater Accra Region. He expressed satisfaction with the quality of work and adherence to timelines, noting that several sections have already shown significant advancement.
Hon. Agbodza commended the contractor, Oswal Investment Group, for their commitment and urged them to maintain momentum to ensure timely completion. He emphasized that the project will bring immense benefits to communities along the corridor and improve road safety and accessibility for all users.
