Tema Motorway opened to traffic

The Accra-Tema Motorway has fully been opened to traffic after it was closed last Monday for repair works on a dilapidated bridge on the stretch, the Ghana Police Service have announced. 

According to the police, repair work on the Lakplakpa bridge along the stretch has been completed.

“Due to the repair works on the bridge, the Tema-Accra bound traffic was diverted onto the Accra-Tema bound lane since Monday, June 13, 2022, which caused a huge traffic build-up,” the Service wrote on Facebook.

The road was opened at exactly 6:06 am by the sector minister.

He indicated that the bridge has passed the integrity test and drivers can use it without fear.

“Those of us at the Highway Authority are happy that we have been able to work around the clock to make sure that the government’s promise has been fulfilled. It was a challenge, but we assured that it was not unsurmountable. That is President Akufo-Addo’s government for you. Anytime the government talks, it delivers beyond the imagination of many people. That is why within the shortest possible time, the problem has been fixed”, he said.
