The four bypasses to be constructed include the Osino bypass, which covers 11.6km, the Anyinam bypass covering 6.1km, the Enyiresi bypass covering 10.7km, and the Konongo bypass covering 13.5km.

Together the bypasses aim to reduce traffic congestion, accidents, and facilitate the smooth movement of goods and people between the local cities of Accra and Kumasi by dualising the motorways.

Selected contractors for the projects include Justmoh Construction, First Sky, Hardwick, Nag Fairmount, Memphis Metropolitan, Resources Access, Joshob Construction, and the Kofi Job Company.

In a tweet, Amoako-Attah thanked the contractors for their “continuous partnership with government for the development of our nation’s infrastructure”.
