The government has called on contractors working on the Ofankor-Nsawam Road to stick to their timeline and deliver the completed project by the end of the second quarter of 2026.
During a site visit on Wednesday, September 3, officials, including the Minister of Roads, toured the construction zone to assess progress.
The visit comes at a time when many commuters have grown increasingly frustrated by the delays and the daily traffic snarls caused by the ongoing works.
Speaking to the contractors, President Mahama acknowledged the visible improvements but urged them to keep traffic flowing smoothly throughout the remainder of the project.
“I can see that drivers are happy now, and I hope that from now till you finish the project, you will maintain a smooth flow of traffic even as you are working so that you don’t impede the flow of traffic,” he said.
The Ofankor-Nsawam Road project began in July 2022 under the previous administration, with an initial completion target of July 2024.
However, funding setbacks have pushed the deadline multiple times, leading to public outcry from drivers and residents affected by the congestion and dust pollution.
The road is a vital link for thousands of commuters, and its completion is seen as a major step toward easing traffic pressure in the capital.
