Major Roads In Accra to be Closed From Thursday

Following the huge traffic that characterised last month's ECOWAS
Summit in Accra, the Police have diverted traffic on some major roads effective tomorrow.  

The Police are also advising that motorists who have no business around the Movenpic hotel, venue for the Summit to desist from going there. 

The PRO of the Accra Police Command, DSP Freeman Tettey outlines the major roads that will be closed to traffic. 

The route from Movenpick Hotel to Airport Traffic Light on the Independence Avenue, Accra, will be closed to the general public effective Friday morning to evening. 

Traffic on the Liberation Road approaching the National Theater Traffic light, Ministries Area will be diverted onto the Barnes Road from the Accra Polytechnic to the Ministries Area. 

Secondly, traffic emanating from the Liberia Road will be diverted onto the Castle Road through AU Circle through Ridge Roundabout to various destinations. 

Traffic on the Independent Avenue between AU Circle and Novotel will be on a single carriage way in both directions. 

The Independence Avenue from Association School Traffic Intersection to Movenpick Hotel will be converted into a one-way and segregated to allow smooth passage of VVIP convoys. 

Motorists are further advised to know these arrangements and plan alternative routes before embarking on their journey.
