5. 2013 Performance
The Ministry and its Agencies pursued the following interventions to improve on its operations:
a. Maintenance of Road Asset:
 As at end of June 2013, routine maintenance had been undertaken on 5,819km of the trunk
road network; 3,250km on the feeder road network; and on the urban road network 1,815km
of grading works and 27,848m2
/km of pothole patching. Additionally, periodic maintenance
activities, comprising re-gravelling/spot improvement and resealing works had been carried
out on 21km, 374km and 6,586km on the trunk, feeder and urban road networks respectively.
 The Ministry continued with the implementation of the Programme Estimate to regulate
overloading to an optimal limit and improve and expand on Transport Sector indicators and
database for better management of investments in the sector.
b. Improving Road Maintenance Financing:
 The Ministry improved revenue generation into the Road Fund for the maintenance of the
road network. The total Road Fund accrual from January to June 2013 is GH¢126,259,175.33.
This is an increase of about GH¢9,894,257.33 over the amount recorded during the same
reporting period in 2012. The increase in the revenue inflow was mostly as a result of the
regular field visits to ensure that funds are being collected in conformity to laid down
procedure and paid into designated bank accounts.
c. Development of key road corridors:
 The Ministry continued to improve major road corridors to promote trade and economic
activities. Some of the projects that achieved significant progress were the Dodo-Pepesu
Nkwanta Road (commencement to 14%), Agona Junction to Elubo Road (mobilization to
11%), Accra East Corridor roads -Giffard and Burma Camp Roads (mobilization to 34%),
Kwafokrom – Apedwa (54%-68%), Buipe-Tamale (37%-62%).
 The development activities undertaken include Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, Construction
and Upgrading. In all, a total of 103km of development works representing 138% of the 2013

approved programme of 75km was executed. 13no. bridges out of the planned 30no. have
been completed as at June 2013.
d. Controlling Axle Load and Implementation of sub-regional programmes
 Axle load Control and Management: The Ministry pursued the implementation of the Law on
Axle Load Limit as stipulated in the New Road Traffic Regulation. Intensive eduation and
sensitization on the new regulation has been undertaken. Key stakeholders such as Freight
Forwarders, Haulers, Truckers, Ports, Private Weighbridge Station Operators have been
involved in this sensitization programme. Durbars have also been organized at Aflao and
Nkwanta for transitors on the eastern corridor.
 Trade and Transit facilitation: Two (2) workshops have been organized to build the capacity
of the Ghana Police Service (MTTU) during the year. The objective is to sensitize the police
MTTU to help reduce the number of roadblocks on road transit corridors. This is to improve
trade as stipulated in the ECOWAS protocol and Project Development Objectives for the
Abidjan –Lagos corridor project. The workshops have help reduced the number of
checkpoints from 28 to 13no on the Aflao to Elubo road corridor.
 Joint Border Posts: Construction of a Joint Border Post (JBP) at Noepe for Ghana and Togo is
on-going and scheduled for completion in December 2013. The Ministry being a secretariat to
the National Road Transport and Transit Facilitation Committee organized a study tour for all
border agencies to the Neope JBP. This created the platform for discussions on the operational
manual and recommendations were formulated for a smooth operation.
e. Public Private Partnerships: The Ministry continued to engage the Private sector using the
Public Private Partnerships (PPP) schemes for the financing, construction and management of
road infrastructure.
 The procurement of a consultant to undertake feasibility study on the dualisation of the
Accra-Takoradi road has been completed. This project which is part of the Ghana PPP
project is financed by the World Bank and it is expected that the IDA will contribute to the
implementation of the project.

the Motorway at Teshie Link has been signed with a Link Infrastructure Co. Ltd. The
concessionaire is currently at the design stage and physical works are planned to

BUDGET PROGRAMME SUMMARY
PROGRAMME 2: Road Construction
1. Budget Programme Objectives
 To open up new areas for accessibility and socio-economic growth;
 To facilitate efficient movement of people, goods and services;
 To reduce vehicle operating cost and travel time.
This programme involves feasibility studies, design, the right of way acquisition and
construction of roads to improve accessibility and mobility of people, goods and services. The
following road networks are constructed:
Trunk Roads
The trunk road network provides a smooth, economic, efficient, safe and reliable trunk road
network that will minimise road accidents and save lives as well as link the national, regional,
district capitals and other major towns, cities and neighbouring countries at optimal cost to
support socio-economic development in Ghana.
Feeder Roads
The feeder road network involves the provision of safe and all weather accessible feeder roads at
optimum cost which facilitate the movements of people, goods and services to promote socio-
economic development, in particular agriculture. .
Urban Roads
The urban road network is to provide safe reliable all weather accessible roads at optimum cost
to reduce travel time of people, goods and services to promote socio-economic development in
Metropolitan and Municipal Assemblies.
Operations under this programmeinclude major improvement and development works.
Improvements include:
 Major Rehabilitation
 Upgrading
Development Works:
 Reconstruction
 Construction

BUDGET PROGRAMMESUMMARY
PROGRAMME 4: Road Safety and Environment
1. Budget ProgrammeObjectives
 To reduce road crashes and fatalities
 To reduce adverse effects resulting from road accidents
 To reduce adverse social and environmental impacts resulting from road improvement
activities.
 To minimise pavement damage resulting from excessive loading
The Road Safety and Environment Programme is responsible for the following:
 Timely identification of road hazards;
 Speedy response to complaints from communities on road hazards;
 Effective road safety audit involving the inspection and analysis of road hazards and
prescription of measures to abate hazard;
 Enforcement of axle load limits;
 Control of adverse social and environmental impacts.
 Installation and Maintenance of Road Furniture (Road signs, crash barriers etc)
 Roadline Marking
 Provision of Speed Calming Measures
Road Safety audits, educational activities and treatment of accident black-spots are carried out
in conjunction with the National Road Safety Commission. This is to ensure that the roads
being designed or maintained are made safe and also to educate users on the correct use and
meaning of signs that are put in place to reduce accidents.
