Principal Accra roads to receive facelift ahead of 70th Independence anniversary

Roads Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza has unveiled a plan to revamp major roads in Accra in preparation for Ghana's 70th Independence anniversary in March 2027. The primary focus will be on resealing key roads to enhance road safety and appearance, creating a significant infrastructural makeover for the capital city. Alongside this, stalled projects such as the Kasoa and Ofankor roads are set to be finished, aimed at improving connectivity and easing traffic in some of the city's busiest routes.

Additionally, work has recommenced on the coastal road corridor linking Independence Square, Osu, and Tema. These initiatives are part of the government's overarching strategy to upgrade Accra's road system, ensuring the city is primed to accommodate the celebrations marking the nation's 70th Independence in March 2027.
