Kumasi: The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has directed the removal of all temporary structures, signage, and trading activities along the stretch from Santasi Roundabout to Ahodwo Roundabout. This directive aims to facilitate the construction of a dual carriage road connecting the Asokwa Interchange.
According to Ghana News Agency, the Assembly issued a public announcement stating that all temporary structures, including wooden and metallic kiosks or shops around the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, must be cleared within 21 days from the announcement date. Additionally, all signage and billboards along the Santasi-Ahodwo road corridor are to be removed by November 30, 2025.
The KMA has also reminded artisans, mechanics, squatters, taxi drivers, and other traders operating around the Santasi Roundabout Taxi Station towards the TUC area to vacate by October 30, 2025, in line with a previous evacuation notice issued on September 24, 2025.
The Assembly noted that these directives are part of the preparatory measures for the Government of Ghana’s dual carriage road project in partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Assembly emphasized that this collaboration aims to construct a dual carriage from Santasi Roundabout to Ahodwo Roundabout, linking the Asokwa Interchange.
The KMA urged all affected individuals and businesses to cooperate with the directives to ensure the smooth execution of the project, which is expected to improve traffic flow and urban mobility within Kumasi. The Assembly assured the public of ongoing engagement and support to minimize any inconvenience during the project’s implementation.
