The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has disclosed that the government will invest heavily in road infrastructure as part of efforts aimed at addressing gaps in the road sector.
He said the initiative will cover some 166 constituencies that require urgent attention regarding road infrastructure.
Presenting the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament on Thursday, July 24, Dr. Forson said the government had earmarked the rehabilitation of 10 kilometers of roads annually in each of the selected constituencies over the next three years.
“The government has identified 166 constituencies in dire need of road infrastructure. In response, we have programmed to rehabilitate 10km of roads annually in each of these constituencies,” he told Parliament.
It is expected that a total of 5,000 kilometers of roads would be reconstructed across the 166 constituencies by 2028.
“Mr. Speaker, this translates to about 5,000km of roads to be reconstructed in these 166 constituencies over the next three years,” he added.
