The 10.2-kilometer Afrisipa-Tekyire bypass project along the Sunyani-Kumasi Highway is expected to be completed by May 2024.
During a recent visit by the Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye, to assess the progress and quality of work done so far, contractors said the project is 76% completed.
