Road contractors are faced with numerous challenges that impede their undertakings in the execution of governmental projects. The study aimed at exploring the challenges faced by road contractors in execution of Government of Ghana (GoG) funded projects. The study was carried out along the tenets of a preliminary literature review and followed by a survey using a structured questionnaire. It was administered to road contractors with classification of A1B1 and A2B2 in Ghana. The data collected were analyzed using Mean Score Ranking and Relative Importance Index (RII). The study revealed that chronic delay in the payments of contractors for work done, high level of political influence and corruption, lack of finance and credit facilities for contractors, changes in government, executive bureaucracy at client’s departments, poor communication structures, disturbance of public activities among others, appears to be the major challenges that road contractors face in the execution of GoG funded projects. The study offers useful lessons on road construction that experts can draw on when executing Government of Ghana (GoG) funded projects. The need for this study cannot be doubted since the consciousness of such challenges will help in resolving issues faced by road contractors in execution of Government of Ghana (GoG) funded projects.
