Roadblocks

The summit is expected to lead to the blocking of some major roads and traffic management in Accra to facilitate the smooth movement of ECOWAS Heads of States from the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to the meeting venue.

The roads that will be temporarily closed are the Opeibea route along the Liberation Road through to the Independence Avenue to the National Theater and onto the Gamel Abdul Nasser Avenue to the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel.

The Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Supt. Alexander Kwaku Obeng said policemen would be deployed to critical intersections on the route from the KIA to the Kempinski Hotel to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and assist motorists on roads that would be used by the dignitaries.
