The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza has taken swift action to address the deteriorating road conditions along two major routes in the Greater Accra Region.
To alleviate traffic congestion and enhance road safety, the Minister has directed local contractors, First Sky Group and Ozwald Construction, to mobilize resources immediately and commence construction on the Ashaiman-Afienya stretch and the Tema Motorway to Dawhyena stretch.
This intervention follows growing public frustration over the poor state of these critical roadways.
During a press briefing after an emergency inspection of the affected areas, Agbodza emphasized the urgent need for repairs.
“Immediately, I am asking First Sky Group to help remedy all that we can do to ease the problem on the motorway runabout towards Central University. And immediately, I am asking Ozwald to also work on the Ashaiman round about beyond Michel Camp and everything we can do as a remedial activity to improve the surface of the road, I asked them to do that immediately,” he said.
He noted that these roads, essential for the movement of people and goods, have become increasingly unsafe and congested due to deteriorating conditions and heavy traffic.
