Repair works on the Dzorwulu Footbridge will commence this Saturday, 18th April 2026.

Here's what you need to know:

🕗 Traffic diversion begins: Saturday, 18 April at 8:00 PM.

📍 Affected route: N1 (Tema-bound) near the Nogahil Footbridge

🔀 Diversion route: Via Abelenkpe Junction – 37 Road at the Dimples Interchange

✅ Road reopens: Sunday, 19 April, at 5:00 AM.

Plan your route ahead and allow extra travel time this weekend.
Motorists are advised to use the bridge with caution once it reopens.

The Ghana Highway Authority wishes to inform the public that an emergency inspection was conducted on the Dzorwulu Footbridge in February 2026, following an incident involving a lowbed truck transporting heavy equipment, which struck the bridge structure.

The inspection carried out by the Bridge Maintenance Unit confirmed that the footbridge sustained minimal structural damage which resulted in a slight shift of the super structure.
While the bridge has not collapsed, the damage poses potential safety risks to both pedestrians and motorists if immediate action is not taken.

As a precautionary measure, the Ghana Highway Authority will implement controlled access to the bridge while urgent repair works are undertaken. Key interventions will include structural repairs to the damaged sections, rehabilitation of the walking surface, and strengthening of safety components such as handrails.
The repair work is scheduled to be completed within a week, from 17th April, 2026 – 24th April, 2026, to minimize disruption to traffic flow.

Additionally, measures are being introduced to prevent future incidents, including the installation of height restriction signage and improved monitoring of over-height vehicles.

The Ghana Highway Authority assures the public of its commitment to maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure and urges all road users to adhere to traffic regulations, especially those relating to vehicle height restrictions.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate the public’s cooperation during this period.

We are proud to be recognized by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) as the Most Efficient Other State Entity (OSE) for 2024.

This prestigious Citation of Honour underscores our commitment to operational excellence and our ability to translate national policy into roads that drive Ghana’s growth.

From our engineers to our administrative professionals, every member of the GHA team is dedicated to advancing infrastructure with the highest standards of efficiency.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: TEMPORARY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENT

The Ghana Highway Authority, acting on behalf of the Ministry of Roads and Highways, wishes to inform the public and all road users of an upcoming traffic management arrangement as part of the ongoing construction works on the Accra–Tema Motorway and Extension Projects.

This arrangement is necessary to facilitate the T-beam launching works for the expansion of the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange Bridge (N1).

During this period, lanes on the N4 Northbound Carriageway (Accra to Madina direction) will be temporarily closed. Meanwhile, the Southbound Carriageway (Madina to Accra direction), which currently comprises four (4) lanes, will be reconfigured into two (2) lanes in each direction to accommodate traffic flow from Accra to Madina and vice versa.

This temporary traffic adjustment will take effect from Monday, 9th March 2026 and is expected to last for a period of four (4) months. The lane reduction is essential to provide a safe working environment for construction personnel and to ensure the continued safety of all road users.

Motorists are kindly advised to exercise caution, observe all traffic signs, and cooperate with traffic management officials throughout the duration of the works.
