The Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has warned that the ministry will demolish a billboard at the Ashaiman Roundabout if its owner fails to remove it within one week.
The billboard, according to the minister, occupies part of the right-of-way for the 64.4-kilometre Ashaiman Roundabout–Atimpoku Junction road project and is obstructing construction at the interchange.
The obstruction affects preparations for a flyover planned at the roundabout, where the contractor requires an unobstructed work area.
Mr Agbodza issued the ultimatum during an inspection tour of the Eastern Corridor, saying the ministry would not permit the structure to interfere with the execution of the project.
He directed the owner to decommission and dismantle the billboard within seven days, adding that the ministry would remove it if the deadline was not met.
The minister also cautioned individuals and property owners against occupying areas within the road’s right-of-way, particularly as construction work intensifies.
He said structures within the designated corridor could impede the contractor’s operations and affect the progress of the project.
