Ghana - Accra Urban Transport Project

The Accra Urban Transport Project (AUTP), is located in an industrial zone in the north-eastern part of Accra and seeks to contribute towards integrated transport and urban development solutions in Accra. It is sequel to the Awoshie – Pokuase Road and Community Development Project financed by the Bank. The Project provides: i) a modern 3- tier grade-separated interchange at Pokuase (the intersection point of the current Bank financed Awoshie-Pokuase Road with other adjoining roads) - a node which is currently a critical missing link; ii) a long term urban development strategic plan in partnership with Cities Alliance and the local municipalities to provide a common platform to develop integrated and collaborative decision making tools for city planning and management in support of the SDGs; and iii) capacity building initiatives targeting the Executing Agency, schools and the localcommunity, geared towards improving effectiveness in project and business development using Information Technology. The total Project cost net of taxes and duties, is estimated at UA68.024 million. The overall implementation period is three and half years (2017 – 2020) including 2 years construction period and 1 year maintenance period.
