Ghana Highway Authority Launches Immediate Repairs on Critical Ofankor-Nsawam Road Sections
ACCRA, Ghana – August 19, 2025 – The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) has officially responded to growing public concern by launching urgent rehabilitation works on the troubled Ofankor-Nsawam Road.
This decisive action follows recent demonstrations and numerous complaints from drivers and residents about the dangerously poor condition of specific segments, particularly between Sapeiman and Medie/Sansam junction.
Consequently, the Authority is acting swiftly to alleviate the significant inconvenience caused to thousands of daily commuters. A spokesperson confirmed that contractor crews are already on the ground and making substantial progress.
Progress on Current Rehabilitation Efforts
Significantly, as of Monday, August 18th, 2025, construction teams have already addressed large portions of the damaged road. Currently, approximately five work gangs are actively operating on both the northbound and southbound lanes.
Their primary mission is to drastically improve the riding quality and, most importantly, enhance safety for all motorists, pedestrians, and commercial transporters. The Authority is therefore deploying all necessary resources to ensure these critical repairs are completed efficiently.
Appeal for Patience and Enhanced Traffic Management
However, while these essential works continue, the GHA is strongly urging all drivers and commuters to exercise extreme patience and caution. To avoid major gridlock, motorists must cooperate fully with traffic wardens and flagmen stationed along the corridor.
Furthermore, the Authority has proactively engaged law enforcement agencies to assist with traffic management. Their presence will be crucial for maintaining order and ensuring the absolute safety of everyone using the road during this construction period.
A Commitment to Future Updates and Project Completion
Ultimately, the Ghana Highway Authority reaffirms its unwavering commitment to seeing this project through to a successful completion. The Public Affairs Division has pledged to provide regular updates on the work’s progress, ensuring transparency and keeping the public informed every step of the way.
The Authority sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused and deeply appreciates the cooperation and understanding of the motoring public. This short-term disruption is a necessary step toward delivering a more durable and significantly safer road for the future.
In the meantime, all media houses and transport unions are receiving official copies of this announcement to help spread this critical information as widely as possible. For further updates, the public is encouraged to follow the Ghana Highway Authority’s official channels.
