  "account": "The Ministry of Roads in Ghana has implemented a 24-hour work schedule for the Darkuman Junction–Kaneshie First Light corridor rehabilitation in Accra. The project, overseen by contractors including Awerco Construction Limited, aims to expedite construction and keep the project on track for timely completion. The rehabilitation work involves road repairs, civil engineering, and the installation of underground storm drains along sections from Atico Junction through Kaneshie First Light to Hansonic Junction. This extended working hours initiative is anticipated to speed up progress on the busy route, ultimately alleviating traffic congestion for motorists and commuters traveling through Darkuman, Kaneshie, Dansoman, and surrounding areas. Road rehabilitation commenced on Friday, August 21, 2026, following the Ministry's engagement of contractors to address deteriorating road conditions and drainage issues. Excavation and drain construction have led to localized traffic adjustments along certain parts of the route. Upon completion, the rehabilitation project is expected to enhance stormwater drainage, restore damaged road surfaces, and bolster road safety. Additionally, the improved connectivity along the corridor will address the challenges commuters face due to poor road conditions and drainage issues, making daily travel more manageable. The Ministry's decision to operate round-the-clock is designed to maintain construction momentum and ensure the project's timely completion within the established timeframe.",
