The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced a major government plan to address critical road infrastructure gaps across the country, with a focus on roads in 166 constituencies identified as being in urgent need.
Presenting the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament on Thursday, July 24, Dr. Forson said the government had programmed the rehabilitation of 10 kilometres 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.
According to the finance minister, this initiative will see a total of 5,000 kilometres of roads 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.
