The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA), acting on behalf of the Ministry of Roads and Highways, has assured motorists and residents along the Ofankor–Nsawam Road corridor that repair works are underway to address deteriorated sections of the road that recently sparked protests by some drivers.
The authority acknowledged the frustrations of commuters, particularly along the stretch between Sapeiman and Medie/Samsam junction, where potholes and uneven surfaces have worsened driving conditions.
In a statement issued yesterday, August 19, 2025 the GHA said the Contractor had already tackled major portions of the distressed areas as of Monday, August 18, 2025, with about five gangs currently on site, working simultaneously on both the northbound and southbound lanes.
The works, according to the Authority, are aimed at improving riding quality and ensuring safety for all road users.
The GHA appealed to drivers and commuters to exercise patience while the repairs continue. It urged motorists to cooperate with traffic wardens and flagmen deployed along the route to ease congestion and prevent accidents.
To further support traffic management, law enforcement agencies have been engaged to ensure order and safety.
“The Ghana Highway Authority remains committed to completing the project. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of work.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate the cooperation of the motoring public as we work to deliver a more durable and safer road,” the statement said.
The Ofankor–Nsawam road is a major link for motorists travelling from Accra to the Eastern and Ashanti regions.
Recent demonstrations by drivers highlighted the urgency of repairs, as many complained of vehicle damage, heavy traffic, and safety risks caused by the dilapidated stretch.
