The President, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills, is appalled by the traffic situation in the capital, Accra, describing the traffic congestion on the roads as a “major headache”.
President Mills made this remark when he inspected ongoing construction works on a road that will connect the Spintex Road from the Polo Grounds near the Kotoka International Airport.
The road which is 75 percent done, is set for completion in July next year.
President Mills commended the contractor for the work done so far, Joy News’ Seth Kwame Boateng reported.
“Clearly when you finish this it’s going to ease traffic congestion on the Spintex Road,” President Mills remarked.
The inspection forms part of the President’s three-day tour of the Greater Accra region.
“Our problem in Accra is the traffic congestion, it’s not good, we have to find ways of making it possible for traffic to move. This is obviously part of the solution, and I will encourage that we find, those of you have the expertise in this, how we can ease traffic congestion in Accra, it’s a major headache.”
The president’s tour took him to Dodowa where he inspected a two-storey classroom and another storey block for a boys’ dormitory at the Ghanatta Senior High School.
The president had before this, inspected a three-lane dual carriageway from the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange to Madina.
