The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) was established as a corporate body by GHA Degree 1974 (NRCD 298). NRCD 298 was repealed by the GHA Act 1997 (Act 540), which, however, continued the Authority in existence with responsibility for the administration, control, development, and maintenance of the country's trunk road network totaling 13,367 km and related facilities. GHA's 13,367 km of trunk roads make up about 33% of Ghana's total road network of 40,186 km.[1][2]
