Tema motorway phase 2 construction begins September

General News
The motorway will be expanded into 10 lanes

Work on the second phase of the construction of the Tema Motorway Roundabout will begin in September 2022.

This follows the government’s signing of a financial agreement with Japan for the project.

The Ghana Highway Authority and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed the USD25 million grant for it.

The Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr Kwasi Amoako-Atta, officials of the Ghana Highway Authority and Ghana’s ambassador to Japan, Edna Apaloo, were all present at the grant signing ceremony.

Phase two of the project will include the construction of a third-tier flyover running between Harbour Road and Ashaiman on the N2.

The project is expected to be completed in November 2022.

Work on the construction of phase one of the project was inaugurated in June 2020.

It was funded with a Japanese grant of USD55.6 million, involving the construction of a 2.1-kilometre, three-lane dual carriageway with a 730-metre long underpass.

A 1.9-kilometre, two-lane dual carriageway from the Ashaiman Roundabout to the Harbour Road was also included in the first phase of the project.
