President Nana Akufo Addo has set about building a dome on Kitase Road, which serves as a vital link between Greater Accra and the eastern region.
At a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, he said the construction of the road had been the subject of commitments from various political parties and successive governments over the years. We are pleased to announce that the restoration of the Dome Kitase Road has finally begun under the leadership of Chairman Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo. “His 23-kilometer section of road will connect the Accra-Kumasi Road and the Accra-Abri-Kofoli Dua Road, offering road users an alternative route between Accra and Abri. This road also provides access to Ashesi University, one of his leading universities in our country. According to the President, “the rehabilitation of the Dome-Kitase Road is being funded by the Government of Ghana and the Kuwaiti Fund. The works, estimated at $35 million and scheduled to be completed within 24 months from today, are being undertaken by M/S First Sky Construction Ltd, one of the best road construction companies in the country.”

The President indicated that some of the road projects completed throughout the country during his presidency include the construction of 100 kilometres of roads and auxiliary infrastructure under the Kumasi Inner Ring Road and adjacent streets project. Under this project, roads in Nyhiaeso, Bantama, Oforikrom, Manhyia, Subin, Tafo Pankrono, Asokwa, Suame and Kwadaso have been constructed.
