President John Dramani Mahama revealed plans for a bypass road system around Kumasi during his visit to the Ashanti Region. The project forms part of the Big Push Initiative and targets traffic congestion caused by commercial vehicles traveling to neighboring countries. Heavy trucks bound for Burkina Faso and Mali will take an alternate route through Ejisu, rather than passing through the city center. The new pathway connects the Mampong and Techiman roads while keeping freight traffic away from downtown areas. This transportation improvement aims to enhance safety and restore urban order to the regional capital.
Mahama pledged to finish several stalled construction projects throughout the area. The Kejetia Central Market requires completion of its second phase after years of delay. Workers will resume building the Krofrom Market after seventeen years of abandonment. The president emphasized expanding the runway at Agyemang Prempeh International Airport as another development priority. He promised residents that the Ashanti Region would receive equitable treatment in national infrastructure investments.
