According to Akim Swedru, two big local companies; First Car Limited and Josh More will be responsible with the first bypass which will take place at Osino on Accra-Kumasi highway. 
The first bypass is expected to be a stretch of 11.6km. The second bypass at Anyinam is expected to cover a distance of 6.1km which will be constructed by Nack Fermamount and Hardwick Limited.
