President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has inaugurated the six-kilometre Ashaley Botwe School Junction to Tema Motorway Road project to enhance road infrastructure and improve economic activities in the Greater Accra Region.
The dual carriageway, which was inaugurated Monday [August 26, 2024], includes service lanes on both sides, a 1.60 km Stadium Access Road, Tema Motorway slip roads, walkways, cycling lanes and lay-bys to enhance safety and convenience for all road users.
The project, which was executed by Oswal Investments Limited, is intended to help reduce travel time, lower transportation costs, mitigate flooding and enhance road safety in areas such as Ashale Botwe, School Junction and Borteyman, leading to the Motorway.
Delivering  promisesÂ
During the inauguration, the President said the completion of the project embodied the strong resolve for delivering on the promises and ensuring that the fruit of the government was felt by every citizen.
The strategic connection, he said, was not merely about transportation, but also about bridging communities, enhancing economic growth and creating new opportunities for prosperity.
He said the road served as the crucial artery for the eastern part of Accra, linking communities such as Tema Community 7, 18, 19, 23 and 24 to the northern regions, including Borteyman, Adjiringanor, Adentan and Dodowa.
By effectively connecting the east and west of Accra, President Akufo-Addo said the project would help to alleviate traffic congestion, establish new economic corridors and promote the flourishing of businesses and communities alike.
“Let it be known, the progress we are witnessing now is not the product of chance, but the result of deliberate, focused leadership and the collective effort of dedicated professionals.
