The 23‑kilometre Takoradi–Agona Nkwanta road will open to traffic in November 2026, four months before the original March 2027 deadline, the Managing Director of Justmoh Construction Limited said on Wednesday.
Dr Justice Amoh announced the early completion during an inspection by Minister of Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, after the contractor mobilised significant resources to speed up the dualisation of the single carriageway and the construction of four concrete bridges, including dual‑carriageway bridges at Apremdo and Ewusiejoe.
The project had stalled for nearly two years due to funding and payment delays, but the government’s release of $78 million in outstanding payments allowed the contractor to intensify work and deploy additional resources.
When finished, the upgraded road will improve connectivity along the Takoradi–Agona Junction corridor. Dr Amoh said the focus now is on road protection works, guardrails and road markings, while noting axle‑load violations remain a concern.
“We can assure you that by the end of November, we are going to hand over. All the materials for the furnishing have been cleared from the port, and they are here. We are here to start with the road protection, the guardrails and the road line markings. our major challenge is the axle load. And once you are here, we plead with you to take a critical look at it and help us to resolve it,” he said.
