Contractor Resumes Work on Critical Ofankor-Pokuase Road After Ministry Talks
Construction has resumed on Ghana’s troubled Ofankor-Pokuase road project following successful negotiations between government officials and the contracted company. Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways Alhassan Suhuyini confirmed the development, marking a significant breakthrough for the stalled infrastructure project.
The contractor has returned to work on key sections of the road after direct engagement with the Ministry of Roads and Highways. Suhuyini’s announcement signals progress on what has become one of Ghana’s most scrutinized transportation projects.
The Ofankor-Pokuase road serves as a critical transportation artery connecting major communities in the Greater Accra Region. The project’s previous suspension had caused significant disruption to daily commuters and local businesses dependent on the route.
Ministry officials worked directly with the contractor to resolve outstanding issues that had halted construction activities. The successful negotiations demonstrate the government’s commitment to completing essential infrastructure projects across the country.
The road project’s resumption comes as Ghana continues expanding its transportation network to support economic growth and improve connectivity between urban centers. Local residents and commuters who rely on this route daily will benefit from the renewed construction efforts.
The Ministry has not disclosed specific timelines for project completion or details about the issues that initially caused the work stoppage. Further updates on construction progress are expected as work continues on the remaining sections.
