According to a statement from the ministry, motorists are urged to exercise caution and adhere to the posted speed limits, as well as follow the traffic management signs that have been set up during this period.

Additionally, the ministry has outlined plans to install six height restriction gantries, with a maximum height clearance of 4.5 meters, at various locations along the Accra-Tema Motorway before the construction zone. Any vehicles exceeding this height limit will be redirected to exit the motorway via a designated route.

“6 no. height restriction gantries (4.5 meters) will be positioned at different locations across the Accra Tema Motorway prior to reaching the construction zone. Vehicles exceeding 4.5 meters in height will be redirected to exit the stretch through the designated route”

The Ministry acknowledges that these traffic diversions may cause some inconvenience and apologizes for any disruption during the construction process.
