Roads and Highways Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza says Ghana’s planned electronic tolling system will eventually be deployed on every public road that has been improved.

Agbodza announced the broader scope at the 2026 Transport Sector Review Conference on 9 September. He described a multi-lane free-flow system that would identify vehicles electronically and collect tolls without requiring drivers to stop at conventional booths. He said tolls would apply to completed, high-quality roads.

The statement describes a wider scope than the network Parliament approved in July.

That concession is a 20-year public-private partnership with Rock Africa Limited covering 66 tolling locations across 13 corridors, made up of 38 existing points and 28 new locations. The agreement reverses the 2021 suspension of manual toll collection and replaces stop-and-pay booths with electronic identification and charging.

The latest announcement does not define what counts as an “improved” public road or state whether every such road would be brought under the existing concession. Government has also not published a complete road list, the applicable toll rates or a nationwide implementation timetable.

The Ministry of Roads and Highways has said it will publish the tariff structures and rollout schedules in the coming months.
