As Ghana celebrates its 68th Independence Anniversary today, March 6, 2025, the Ghana Police Service has announced temporary road closures in Accra to ensure a smooth and secure celebration. The roads affected include Liberation Road at Opeabia Intersection, 37 Intersection towards the Central Business District, Independence Avenue at Ako-Adjei Bypass, and Presidential Drive around the Jubilee House.
Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes in advance, as diversions will be in place. For instance, those on Liberation Road from the Airport will be diverted onto the Alliance Francaise Road or the Airport Bypass. Similarly, motorists on Independence Avenue will be diverted at Ako Adjei Interchange onto the Ring Road Central.
To maintain order and safety, parking will not be allowed on the affected roads, and only authorized vehicles will be permitted to pass through the road blockades. Traffic Police Officers will be deployed to assist motorists and direct them to designated car parks and diverted roads.
Ghana’s Independence Day is a significant national holiday that commemorates the country’s independence from British colonial rule on March 6, 1957. Today’s celebration at the Jubilee House is expected to be a grand event, with dignitaries and citizens gathering to mark the occasion.
