How about using a nice treeview layout rather than lists.

With menu items you can code them so the screen reader can identify the hierarchical level. From there it becomes so easy to navigate through them using arrow keys.

You can create your treeview using lists. You just use JavaScript to code the expand and collapse mechanisms.

There are so many nice accessible samples on the web. They work out of the box without ARIA. I used a couple in the past. Unfortunately, I got rid of them because the ASP.NET treeview was all I needed.
