Ghana Highway Authority orders traders to leave East Legon tunnel
The move is to pave way for expansion works to begin on the tunnel.
The affected persons include petty traders, flower and pots dealers, as well as, a construction company (name withheld).
The Ghana Highway Authority is expected to begin the expansion work right after the traders have moved.
Mr Kwasi Amoako-Atta, the Ministry of Roads and Highways announced during a recent tour that another tunnel would be constructed to ease the vehicular traffic for motorists on that route.
“Within the next six months, I have directed the team to create a second tunnel so that there will be continuous flow of traffic instead of the current alternating flow that we are experiencing.
Once we have the two systems in place, this traffic that occur will be a thing of the past,” the minister said.
