We have a 7,147-kilometer-long network of roadways in total. Out of the total length of the road network, we have so far awarded for construction 5,404 km and finished 1,487 km. The three entities that fall under the road sector make up this, he said.

He listed a number of other road projects, including those from Mangoase to Kukua to Akorabo to Amanhyia, Kwahu Tafo to Ankama to Miaso, Nkatekwan Junction to Obuotumpan, Nkawkaw to Domeabra to Buaben, Suhum to Nankese, Ayirebi to Asabidia, and Akropong to Larbikrom.
