Accra’s principal roads to get facelift ahead of Ghana’s 70th anniversary – Roads Minister

Ghana's Roads Minister, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has revealed ambitious plans to revamp the nation's road network in Accra in preparation for the country's 70th Independence anniversary in March 2027. The minister declared the initiative aimed at refurbishing key roads, enhancing safety, and providing Accra with a fresh appearance to coincide with the national celebrations.

Agbodza confirmed that work would be finished on several projects that had been delayed, including the Kasoa and Ofankor road routes. He emphasized that completing these projects would boost traffic flow and help alleviate congestion on some of the busiest routes leading to Accra and its neighboring towns.

Furthermore, the minister announced the initiation of construction activities along the coastal road corridor, stretching from Independence Square, through Osu, to the port city of Tema. These multifaceted interventions are part of Ghana's broader strategy to enhance Accra's road infrastructure and connectivity. The minister stressed that these efforts would ensure the capital is fully geared up to accommodate the festivities surrounding Ghana's 70th Independence anniversary in March 2027.

The minister also appealed to motorists to exercise caution on the Accra-Kumasi highway during the construction period.
