A 27.7km development. Three sections under construction
The Accra–Tema Motorway and Extensions Project reconstructs and expands a critical corridor in Ghana’s national road network.
Ghana’s first toll road public–private partnership
The Accra–Tema Motorway dual carriageway links Accra and the industrial city of Tema, where Ghana’s main port is located. It was opened as a freeway in 1964 under Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah. The design life of the motorway was intended for 20 years, and the pavement has outlived its terminal level of serviceability with visible fatigue-cracking, joint failures and pumping under wheel load — and requires reconstruction.
