ATEL launches website to provide updates on Accra-Tema Motorway expansion project

Accra-Tema Expressway Limited (ATEL) has introduced a new website to keep the public informed about the Accra-Tema Motorway and Extensions Project. The website, www.atexpresswayltd.com, was unveiled at a media event in Accra on Wednesday, October 28. The platform aims to increase transparency and keep motorists and other road users updated on construction progress, traffic diversions, project milestones, and safety advisories.

The project, which is crucial as a major transport route linking Accra to Tema, has faced criticism for delays. Speaking at the event, Bennett Akantoa, Deputy Managing Director for Investment at the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), acknowledged public concerns about the construction pace. He expressed optimism that the website would offer timely and reliable information to help the public monitor progress and understand the developments surrounding the project better.

Mr Akantoa also noted that the initiative aligns with President John Dramani Mahama's broader strategy to enhance road infrastructure throughout Ghana.
