Appolonia City, Ghana’s premier master-planned urban development, has officially commenced a major infrastructure expansion following a high-profile groundbreaking ceremony for a new 25-kilometre road network.
The event, held on Friday, February 6, 2026, marks the transition from strategic planning to accelerated on-site execution for the 2,325-acre project. The ceremony was attended by top government officials, including Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, and leadership from Rendeavour and Core Construction Limited.
The 25km project is not merely about laying asphalt; it is an integrated mobility solution designed to withstand the demands of a modern city.
The scope of work includes:
● High-quality asphalt roads designed for heavy durability.
● Dedicated pedestrian walkways and cycling paths to promote green mobility.
● Comprehensive stormwater drainage systems to ensure climate resilience.
● Modern utility crossings for power, water, and telecommunications.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister Suhuyini hailed the development as a benchmark for Ghana. “Appolonia City represents the future of urban growth where roads, utilities, and services are delivered ahead of demand,” he noted.
Investment and Economic Impact
Developed by Rendeavour, Appolonia City has already seen over US$250 million in critical infrastructure investment. This includes a massive 75MVA primary substation and over 50km of existing utility networks.
Perminas Marisi, Country Head for Rendeavour Ghana, emphasized that the new road network serves as the “arteries” of the city, unlocking access to residential neighborhoods, a 200-acre light industrial park, and commercial districts.

The project is being executed by Core Construction Limited, a wholly Ghanaian-owned firm with over three decades of experience. Director of Operations Kevin Lartey reaffirmed the company’s commitment to technical excellence, noting that their own quarry facilities at Shai Hills would ensure the consistent quality of materials for the project.
As Accra continues to expand, Appolonia City stands as a resilient, well-governed alternative to unplanned urban sprawl, proving that private-sector leadership can deliver world-class infrastructure.
