ROADS & HIGHWAYS MINISTER, HON KWAME AGBODZA WRITES:
*Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu – Nkwanta Road (46km)*
The Dodo Pepesu–Nkwanta Road is a critical segment of the Eastern Corridor (N2), serving as a major north–south transport link that facilitates the movement of goods, services, and people across the eastern belt of the country. The 46km stretch was originally completed in 2015. However, since its completion, the road has not undergone any periodic or major maintenance interventions. Over time, the combined effects of traffic loading, weather conditions, and natural deterioration led to the formation of extensive potholes, rutting, and surface depressions. These defects significantly reduced riding quality, increased vehicle operating costs, and created serious safety hazards for commuters and freight operators using the corridor.
Recognizing the strategic importance of the route and the need to restore its functionality, the Government awarded a contract in 2025 for the full rehabilitation of the road at a cost of GHS 683.9 million. The project is designed not merely as a maintenance intervention, but as a comprehensive upgrade to bring the road to a standard consistent with other sections of the Eastern Corridor.
The scope of works includes the scarification of the existing bituminous surface to remove failed layers and prepare the pavement for reconstruction. This is followed by the construction of essential drainage infrastructure, including U-drains and trap drains, to effectively manage surface and subsurface water—one of the primary causes of pavement failure in the area. The pavement structure will be strengthened with the placement of a natural gravel sub-base and crushed rock base, designed to improve load-bearing capacity and durability under increasing traffic volumes.
The final wearing course will consist of asphaltic concrete surfacing, providing a smooth, durable, and all-weather riding surface. In addition, the project includes the installation of road furniture such as signage, road markings, and safety features to enhance visibility, regulate traffic, and improve overall road safety.
Upon completion, the rehabilitation of the Dodo Pepesu–Nkwanta Road is expected to significantly improve travel times, reduce vehicle maintenance costs, and enhance safety for all road users.
