Ghana road infrastructure and funding developments

Overview

Ghana is implementing new financial and structural measures to manage its road infrastructure and maintenance. In late July 2026, Parliament approved a 20-year public-private partnership with Rock Africa Limited to reintroduce electronic road tolls across 66 points on 13 corridors. This system is designed to automate billing, reduce congestion, and provide sustainable funding, with the government receiving 70% of the revenue.

Following this, the government announced the disbursement of GH¢23.1 billion through the end of July 2026. These funds were allocated to settle outstanding debts to road contractors and to support the ‘Big Push’ infrastructure programme, which includes both continuing inherited projects and initiating new ones across various districts.
