Akufo-Addo to cut sod for Tema-Accra Motorway Rehabilitation Projec

President Nana Akufo-Addo is set to cut the sod for the much-anticipated rehabilitation of the Tema-Accra motorway, alongside other extension works. This groundbreaking event, scheduled for Sunday, August 25, 2024, will also be attended by the Minister of Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye, Finance minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, among others.

The Tema-Accra motorway, a crucial link between Ghana’s capital and the harbor city of Tema, is poised for significant upgrades. The rehabilitation project aims to enhance the motorway’s capacity and efficiency, providing a major boost for businesses and commuters who rely on this vital stretch.

President Akufo-Addo’s administration has been committed to improving the country’s road infrastructure. The motorway project is part of a broader initiative to modernize Ghana’s road network, which includes the ongoing construction of the Tema Motorway Roundabout Phase 2. This phase involves the construction of a third-tier flyover to alleviate traffic congestion and improve urban mobility.

The government has secured a $338 million loan for the rehabilitation and expansion of the Accra-Tema motorway. This investment will not only expand the motorway to 10 lanes but also enhance the overall road infrastructure in the Greater Accra Region, facilitating smoother and more efficient transportation.

The rehabilitation of the Tema-Accra motorway is expected to be a game-changer for the region, fostering economic development and improving the quality of life for residents and businesses alike. As the project progresses, it will undoubtedly contribute to the broader vision of transforming Ghana’s transportation landscape.
