Road construction in Africa: INZAG procures Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 mobile crane for Ghana

The "Rehabilitation of the Eastern Corridor Road" is one of the most important projects undertaken by the Ministry of Roads and Highways of Ghana. It is of central importance for the transport and economic development in the east of the West African state on the Gulf of Guinea. The 700-kilometre road is a very important north-south axis from the border with landlocked Burkina Faso to Tema, the country's main port city.

The German construction company INZAG, headquartered in Wiesbaden, has been awarded the contract for "Lot 1". Managing Director Achim Becker explains: "The development of the first 64 kilometres from the port town of Tema to Akosombo is highly complex. Through the city, the road will be widened from two to six lanes. This will be followed by a section with a four-lane expansion. Even further north, the road will have two lanes. Included in the project are roundabouts, flyovers and river crossings, as well as numerous pedestrian bridges."
