“We have done about 35% of work, but then, as I always say, the works that we are currently doing are mostly the heavy lifting parts. That is the concrete works, which has to do with the drainage, the bridges, and then the earthworks,” he remarked.
The 19.5-kilometer project, which began on January 2, 2024, will expand the motorway to 10 lanes spanning from the Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout in Accra to the Tema Roundabout.
