The Ghana Highway Authority has commenced the installation of crash barriers along the Koforidua-Mamfe-Aburi Highway, Brimso Bridge, and the Dimples roundabout, as part of efforts to enhance road safety. This move follows the successful installation of crash barriers on the Aburi-Nsawam stretch, which has significantly reduced accidents on that corridor.
The contractor, Messrs Hacianda Enterprise Ltd, has been given site possession to commence work. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when driving around active construction zones. The Ghana Highway Authority aims to protect road users and improve overall highway safety through this initiative.
This development is part of the government’s broader efforts to improve road infrastructure in Ghana. Similar projects, such as the Tema Motorway Grade Separation Project, are also underway, with funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The project aims to ease traffic congestion, improve trade integration, and enhance economic growth in the region.
