Construction work on the Tema-Aflao highway has recommenced after the Ministry of Roads and Highways assured BHM Construction Company Limited that the necessary funding for the project would be restored.

During a recent inspection, Kwame Governs Agbodza, the Minister for Roads and Highways, encouraged contractors, including BHM Construction, to return to their sites, reinforcing the government’s commitment to providing the financial support needed for infrastructure projects that had been stalled due to the Debt Exchange Program (DDEP) introduced by the previous Akufo-Addo administration.

The project had been put on hold since December 2022 when the debt restructuring initiative led to a freeze on several major infrastructure projects nationwide.

BHM Construction responded promptly to the Minister's call and resumed work on the highway, although they have also requested the government to expedite outstanding payments to ensure the smooth continuation of the project.

Adrian Wilson, the Country Managing Director for BHM Ghana, shared his optimism during a press briefing on April 7.

"We are happy to resume work on the Tema-Aflao Interchange Programme project, especially after receiving the government’s continued assurance regarding funding. This reassurance has given us the confidence to restart the work," he said.
