GARID announces Dr Busia Highway traffic diversions for Kaneshie drainage project
The Project Coordinator for the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID), Dr Ohene Sarfo has urged motorists to use designated alternative routes as major construction works on the Dr Busia Highway are set to trigger a series of temporary road closures from September 7, 2026.
GARID has announced that traffic diversions will be implemented on the Dr Busia Highway due to the Kaneshie drainage project, with the first phase of closures starting on September 7, 2026. Motorists will be required to use designated alternative routes including Awodome Cemetery Road, the New Times Corporation-Awodome Roundabout route, and the Obetsebi-Lamptey-Mataheko route.
The westbound section of the highway from Kaneshie Station to First Light will remain closed until August 2027, while additional restrictions will be introduced around First Light Junction as the project progresses. Authorities have urged road users to avoid the affected corridors and use the provided alternative routes to minimize disruption.
