Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has announced that the Government’s Big Push Infrastructure Programme is making significant progress, with 87 strategic transport infrastructure projects currently under construction across all 16 regions of Ghana.
Presenting the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review in Parliament on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, the Finance Minister said the programme represents the largest coordinated investment in strategic transport infrastructure in recent years and is aimed at improving connectivity, boosting economic activity and facilitating trade.
Dr Forson disclosed that the projects comprise 74 trunk roads and bridges, 10 urban roads and three feeder roads, all at various stages of implementation.
He reported that by the end of June 2026, 13 projects had attained at least 50 per cent completion, with six of them progressing beyond 75 per cent. An additional 15 projects had also exceeded 25 per cent completion.
According to the Minister, substantial progress has been recorded on several major road corridors, including the Kasoa–Winneba, Takoradi–Agona Junction, Ofankor–Nsawam, Tepa–Goaso, Adentan–Dodowa, Tema–Aflao, Penyi–Aflao, Wenchi–Sawla, Atimpoku–Ho–Aflao, Tumu–Han–Lawra, Tumu–Navrongo and Winneba–Cape Coast–Takoradi roads.
He further stated that work is advancing on the Suame Interchange Phase II, as well as the Sunyani, Tamale and Kumasi Outer Ring Roads. Feeder road projects in the Eastern and Volta regions are also improving access to farming communities and markets, supporting agricultural production and rural economic development.
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, Dr Forson said the government would accelerate work on projects nearing completion, strengthen contractor performance and address implementation bottlenecks to ensure timely delivery.
The Big Push Infrastructure Programme forms part of the Mahama administration’s broader agenda to modernise Ghana’s transport network, improve mobility and stimulate economic growth through strategic public infrastructure investment.
