The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has announced that construction on the Suame Interchange Project will resume next week after government cleared outstanding payments owed to contractors.
In a statement shared on April 1, the Minister disclosed that debts linked to certified works, unpaid since 2024 have now been settled, removing a major obstacle that had stalled progress on the project.
Contractors are expected to remobilise to site in the coming days to continue construction on the interchange, a key infrastructure project aimed at easing traffic congestion in Kumasi.
The project has experienced significant delays in recent months, causing frustration among residents and road users due to persistent congestion and its impact on economic activity.
Agbodza thanked the public for their patience and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving road infrastructure and enhancing mobility in the Ashanti regional capital.
