The government has signed a financial agreement with Japan for the construction of phase II of the Tema Motorway Roundabout project from September this year.
The US$25 million grant was signed between the Ghana Highway Authority and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The phase II of the project will see the construction of a third-tier flyover, which will be a composite bridge structure, from Harbour Road to Ashaiman on the N2.
This will bring to completion the construction of a 3-tier interchange at the Tema Motorway Roundabout.
The project is expected to be completed in November 2024.
The works will involve the construction of a composite bridge and ramps and axillary roads of a total length of 1.75km between the Harbour Road to Ashaiman.
Present at the signing were the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Attah, officials from the Ghana Highway Authority, Ghana Embassy in Japan including H.E. Genevieve Edna Apaloo, Ghana’s Ambassador to Japan
