Traffic on Pamprom to 1st Light stretch in Kaneshie to be diverted for GARID project from September 7
The construction works are expected to run from September 2026 to October, 2027.
Starting September 7, 2026, construction will begin on a double cell underground rectangular stormwater drain from Pamprom Junction to First Light Junction along the Dr. Busia Highway in the Kaneshie enclave. Project Coordinator for the Greater Accra Resilience Integrated Development (GARID) project, Dr. Kwadwo Ohene Sarfo, announced the new 10-meter-wide, 1.95-kilometer-long drain will replace existing 1.2-meter-diameter pipes.
The project, expected to run from September 2026 to October 2027, will cause temporary traffic restrictions and diversions. Residents, commuters, transport operators, businesses, and the general motoring public are urged to receive timely and accurate information to plan their movements and minimize inconvenience. Alternative routes, including using the Obetsebi Interchange and driving towards Mataheko, are available.
The Ministry of Works, Housing, and Water Resources, in collaboration with the Department of Urban Roads, has developed a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow during the construction. The plan is implemented in two phases, with the first phase beginning on September 7, 2026, and the second phase starting in September 2027.
