Remove properties from Tema motorway reservations …Road Minister warns encroachers
January 6, 2021 Mr Kwesi Amoako-Atta, The Minister of Roads and Highways.
The Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr Kwesi Amoako-Atta, has cautioned individuals who have encroached on road reservations along the Accra-Tema Motorway to remove their properties or have themselves to blame.
According to him, the 19.5-kilometer motorway constructed some 50 years ago had been awarded on contract for reconstruction, and so no obstacle will be allowed to hinder the development of the two-lane dual carriageway into a three-lane dual carriageway.
Mr Amoako-Atta, who gave the warning at a media encounter on Monday evening, said despite several letters warning encroachers to desist from raising properties in the reservations, they had remained adamant.

Mota-Engil, the Portuguese contractor that has built up a large business in Africa, has this week signed a deal worth $570m to extend and improve Ghana’s first-ever motorway.
A press release signed by Kwasi Amoako-Attah, the Ghanaian minister for roads and highways, said the contract was signed on 16 December, after receiving approval from the country’s Public Procurement Authority and the Central Tender Review Board.
The project will upgrade and extend the motorway between the capital, Accra, and the city of Tema, which is also the country’s largest port. The existing 19.5km road will be reconstructed and expanded into a two-lane dual carriageway, with an extra lane added in urban areas. A number of interchanges will also be modernised.
