The Ministry of Roads and Highways has opened portions of the Accra-Tema Motorway, closed to traffic on Monday, following the completion of repair works on a dilapidated bridge on the stretch.
The road was opened to motorists at exactly 6:06 am on Friday, June 17, as promised by the Roads and Highways Minister, Kwasi Amoako-Attah.
The Ministry through the Ghana Highway Authority undertook emergency repair works on the Lakplakpa River Bridge on the Accra-bound section of the Accra-Tema Motorway.
This led to days of heavy traffic on the motorway, especially during rush hours.
“The Kwame Nkrumah Motorway - N1 has been opened to full traffic at 6:00 am this morning following the completion of repair works on the Lakplakpa bridge along the Tema-Accra bound lane,” the police added.
The completion of the repair has, however, led to an ease in the unusual gridlock that occurred on the stretch over the period.
