Tema Motorway to Be Six Lanes

Deputy Minister of Roads and Highways, Anthony Karbo, has hinted government will expand the Accra-Tema motorway into a six lane highway.

This is to ease traffic on the stretch which may arise as a result of the Tema Port Expansion Project.

Mr Karbo also hinted that government will review the current tolls being collected on the Tema Motorway.

Speaking to Class News, he said: “The idea is to expand the Accra-Tema Motorway into a six lane highway.

“This will [deal with] the pressure that is going to come from the expansion of the port, meaning that more vehicular traffic and of course government will have to take a political decision on what kind of tolls we will be charging on this road.

“These processes are underway, the Ghanaian people are eager to see a massive transformation we promised, we are working at it, following the laid down procedures.”
