This project aims to address years of concerns over the road's poor condition. Additionally, the Sunyani–Ntotroso–Acherensua road project is being undertaken through a partnership between Newmont Ghana and the government.

This suggests that the government is making progress in its efforts to improve the country's road infrastructure.
