Mallam-Tetteh Quarshie road stretch nearing completion

Share this post

There’s huge relief for motorists using the Mallam junction interchange that links Accra to Kasoa. Works on the interchange are in advanced stages of completion and should be ready within weeks.

Already traffic congestion has eased significantly due to completion of major works on the interchange.

Contractors working on the Tetteh-Quarshie Interchange-Apenkwa and Apenkwa-Mallam Junction roads are putting in extra hours to meet the mid-February deadline. A beautiful and seemingly durable eight kilometre flyover is fully completed.

The road, after completion, would complement two dual carriageways that link the Western corridor to the Kotoka Airport and the Tema harbour and another one that links the Western corridor to Accra’s market centres.

These would ensure a sophisticated traffic-control mechanism on the Malam Junction link, connecting food-producing towns in the Western corridor and export centres in Accra and Tema. It is anticipated that this will end up easing about 70 percent of traffic congestion in between Malam and Accra and the Tetteh Quashie interchange.

e.tv Ghana news’ investigation reveals that so far 98 per cent of the work is done.

Contractors are working around the clock to deliver the much-awaited roads before the end of February. Although the project is yet to be fully completed, commuters cannot hide their joy at the pace of construction.

So far, the four foot bridges at Nii Boi Town, the Kata Hotel, Abrantie Spot and Kwashieman have been completed. Fixing of the guard rails is also in progress.

The project is part of the $547 million US funded MiDA projects aimed at improving various sectors of Ghana’s economy - including transportation and agriculture.
