So does it mean that we are now going to drive more than 100 kilometres per hour? And therefore breaking the existing law of 80 kilometres per hour?

There is no limit of 80kmh as at now, on the Tema motorway, it was 100kmh. Different segment of road have different limits depending on where the road is passing through

Instead 80 kilometres, some drivers drive at 140-160 kilometres. What about when it extended to 100 kilometres and above, how many kilometres do you think the insane drivers will commute please?

We were told the project will start in early part of 2026, why shift it to late 2026 and secondly I don't mind paying 50 to 100 toll from Kumasi to Accra

After K4 and Nana Addo's investment of our money in the dualization of Accra - Kumasi, is JM going to abandon it and start a new project? Why do we do this always to ourselves? Politicians keep abandoning uncompleted projects thereby wasting our money. Is it a curse or what?

I have time without number stated that building another Expressway by road to Kumasi is not in the overall interest of the nation; in my estimation if a Bullet Train Service is constructed which can make the journey in one and a half hours devoid of rampant accidents and breakdowns will be another option for travellers,If one look at the National Railway Master Plan that connects all Regioal Capitals of Ghana should not be shelved for for another road project. I am a Dutch of Ghanaian origin who has lived in Europe for over twenty years and can emphatically say that there're faster,cheaper, and safe railway system connecting Europe and it's about time Ghana develops it's Railway system for the benefit of posterity. Apart from passengers giving preference to Railway system, it is a delight to watch 40 footer Containers stacked two-high speedily trasversing the the Continent of Europe; moving bulk cargo by rail also improves the life-span of Asphaltic roads which is very expensive to construct. With Ghana already having a Concrete Sleeper Factory between Dawa and Sege on the Tema-Aflao road which produced Standard Guage Sleepers for the construction of the modern Tema-Mpakadan Multiple-Unit Railway system across the Volta River it'll be a step in the right direction to focus on developing Ghana's Railway System. It is my fervent hope and Prayer that a second thought is given to the duplication of the existing Accra-Kumasi highway sacrificing the National Railway Master Plan, Thanks.

Now it will start late 2026? I'm beginning to see another white elephant project. Because of chop chop the existing dualisation is being abandoned for a new one which is definitely not possible to complete in 2 years. Now if ndc loses the 2028 elections, what happens to it?

This senseless government stole $10 billion dollars and turned around to told us that the 10 billion dollars they stole was used to strengthen the cedi to achieve nothing just a debt of $10 billion dollars which can construct this express highway and now they said we will pay to use the road even it is our tax money that is going to finance the construction of the road.

This is possible. Toll roads are very common in the Western world and it works. We just have to make sure that toll funds are not hijacked or collateralized by some unscrupulous Politicians from either side of the aisle. Remember how some crooked government of yesteryear collateralized everything in Ghana for loans that was squandered by the Akyem bandits? Ghana should have several of these roads criss crossing Ghana if this concept works. Shame on anyone who had the opportunity to transform Ghana but chose to LOOT FROM THE PEOPLE INSTEAD. NKWASEAFUOR NNE AGYIMIFUOR. NEVER AGAIN....

Rail is the way forward after this project I worked in the rail sector in the UK for over 20yrs and it's the main mode of transport in Europe. Cargo is carried at night and passenger trains by day. Dual use of the railway infrastructure will save our roads too from heavy haulage.

How safe are our Cocoa and food crops Farm lands with this project ? Whosoever concern with this Expressway as an option to that of the existing one must think about it. Ghana needs to improve on our dead Railway system which is more safe and useful for passengers,hauling of Agricultural goods like cocoa,Timber and all the rest of food stuff as such reducing cost of living in the capital and its surround big Towns. This is a common sense which my illiterate Grate grand Mum, may she RIP will would have chosen to do.(Railway) Most Countries in Africa are well develop in the Railway Business with low rate of lost of lives through road accidents. Learn from that and save lost of lives of the innocent and poor citizens. Think about it.

The NDC and their penchant for propaganda and lies is legendary and laughable. There is no way they can even start this laughable highway even if they stay in power for the next two hundred years.

Rail line is the solution. Even if we can not afford the bullet train. A normal train route under a BOT is the best option. You guys will start this when you loose power then it becomes a white elephant.

This so called Expressway is a complete misplaced Priority. Whereas the Eastern corridor road remains undone why on earth should Accra/Kumasi be a priority? Capt Ibrahim Traore will completely transform BF in just a matter of ten years while Ghana continue to wallow in filth, indiscipline and corruption.
