An upgrade is planned for the National Highway 6, connecting Ghana’s capital Accra with the country’s second city, Kumasi. The work is intended to boost both capacity and safety as the 250km-long route is one of the country’s busiest and is currently heavily congested, while it has a poor safety record. Construction work is expected to commence at the end of 2018 and the upgrade will see the route being widened so that it features two lanes in either direction.
A major upgrade has been planned on the Accra to Nkawkaw section of the route for some time but stalled previously, with much of the necessary work left unfinished. Potholes and a lack of lighting on some sections of the road have made it particularly dangerous to use during night time.
