Ghana's road network is set for a major facelift as Parliament has approved GHS 2.8 billion for maintenance works this year.

The allocation is expected to improve transportation and facilitate economic activities by ensuring smoother road conditions across the country.

In 2024, 43 percent of roads received some level of maintenance, including reshaping, gravelling, and pothole patching.

Speaking to the media at Parliament House in Accra, Isaac Adjei Mensah, Chairman of the Roads and Transport Committee, described the move as part of efforts to revamp the country's road infrastructure.
