Road Tolls To Be Reintroduce By Government In 2025

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has announced that the government plans to reintroduce road and bridge tolls in 2025. 

He made the announcement during the presentation of the 2024 mid-year fiscal policy review on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.

According to him, the reintroduction of tolls is part of a comprehensive strategy to enhance infrastructure funding and management in the country. 

The move aims to generate additional revenue to support the maintenance and development of the country’s road network.

“Mr. Speaker, Cabinet has approved the establishment of a framework for the reintroduction of road and bridge tolls in 2025,” he said. 

The minister emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring that the funds collected from tolls will be efficiently managed and allocated towards critical infrastructure projects.

This decision marks a significant step in the government’s efforts to improve Ghana’s transportation infrastructure, following the suspension of toll collection in November 2021. 

Dr. Amin Adam highlighted that the reintroduction of tolls will play a crucial role in maintaining fiscal discipline and supporting the nation’s development goals.
