GHANA PRESIDENT CUT SOD FOR TEMA-AFLAO ROAD PROJECT
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, over the weekend cut the sod for the construction of phase one of the Tema-Aflao road project.
The project is in fulfilment of a pledge he made when he commissioned the Tema Interchange project.
The latest project is part of the President commitment of his Government to ensure the implementation of the declaration of 2020 as the “Year of Roads”.
The Tema-Aflao road project will tie into the Trans-African Highway Project, from Lagos to Abidjan, with the current two-lane dual carriageway being expanded into a three-lane carriageway in each direction.
Meanwhile, the 17km road project begins one-kilometre (1km) east of the Tema Expressway Roundabout, incorporating mixed-use towns such as Dawhenya, and ends approximately three-kilometres (3km) east of the Central University intersection.
At the ceremony, the President expressed the gratitude of Government and the Ghanaian people to British Government for their continued assistance and support towards the construction of the Tema-Aflao road.
