Road and bridge tolls will once again be collected, but this time they will be “technologically driven” rather than collected at toll booths, according to Roads & Highways Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza.
The ministry will use an open, transparent, competitive, cost-effective, and equitable procurement procedure to accomplish this goal, according to a statement signed by Nasir Ahmad Yartey, Head, Public Relations Unit, on Thursday, February 6, 2025.
“A modernized system that addresses the current tolling and road maintenance funding challenges of the country” is what the ministry promised the public it would implement.
In 2021, the administration of former President Nana Akufo-Addo abolished road and bridge tolls by implementing the electronic levy, or e-levy. A 2024 restoration was alluded to by the same administration.
