• Roads Minister Kwame Agbodza inspected the Suame Interchange Project during a working tour of the Ashanti Region
• Phase 2 covers three overpasses and the widening of Offinso Road into a dual carriageway, with two of the three overpasses already finished
• The completion of Phase 2 is expected to unlock intensive construction activity on the more expansive Phase 1 works

The Suame Interchange Project's Phase 2 has reached 87%t completion and is on course to be opened to traffic by the end of October 2026, the Roads and Highways Minister has confirmed.

Minister Kwame Agbodza made the announcement on Thursday during a site inspection of the project, which formed part of his working tour of the Ashanti Region.

Phase 2 covers the construction of three overpasses at key junctions along the corridor. Work at Anomangye Junction and Magazine New Road Junction has been fully completed, while the overpass at Abusuakruwa Junction stands at 98.25 per cent completion.

The phase also includes the widening of Offinso Road, designated as the N10 highway, into a 2x3-lane dual carriageway.

That component is currently 77% complete. On the local roads front, 13.2 kilometres out of a planned 15 kilometres have been finished, with improvements also made to selected intersections along the route.

Agbodza said the completion of Phase 2 is intended to ease congestion in the area and create the conditions necessary for accelerated work to begin on Phase 1.

Phase 1 represents the more complex portion of the overall Suame Interchange Project.

Its scope includes the construction of a three-tier interchange at Suame, two overpasses at Abrepo and Krofrom junctions, and the widening of both the Eastern and Western Bypass roads.

The minister's inspection signals that authorities are monitoring progress closely as the October target approaches, with the Suame corridor being one of the busiest and most congested arterial routes in the Ashanti Region.
