The northbound carriageway on the N1 Highway from Accra towards the N4 Accra-Madina direction will be temporarily closed as part of T-beam launching works for the expansion of the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange Bridge.
The Ghana Highway Authority announced this in a public notice on Friday, stating that the closure is expected to last approximately two to four hours during each launching operation.
The traffic management arrangement will commence on Saturday, March 14, 2026, and subsequently on weekends and official public holidays for a period of four months.
The Authority disclosed that alternative routes have been mapped out to help road users bypass the work area.
Route 1 for travelers heading to Tema from Liberation Road involves driving through the Airport Bypass, then through Flowerpot junction, and merging onto the motorway to Tema.
Route 2 for those traveling to East Legon from Liberation Road requires driving through the Airport Bypass, then through the East Legon underpass to enter the East Legon region.
Route 3 connects J.J. Rawlings Road to Liberation Road via George Bush Highway, requiring drivers to turn right at the Gulf House and continue toward GIMPA Road to Fiesta Royale Hotel junction, make a left turn and head straight on the George Bush Highway, passing Villagio to Liberation Road.
Route 4 for travelers coming from Tema along the N1 involves driving through Tetteh Quarshie to the Fiesta Royal Hotel junction, then making a left turn onto North Airport Road, continuing past the Africa Regent Hotel to enter Liberation Road.
The Ghana Highway Authority urged the public and all road users to take note of the revised traffic management arrangement and plan their journeys accordingly.
The expansion of the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange Bridge is part of ongoing efforts to improve road infrastructure and ease traffic congestion in the Greater Accra Region.
The T-beam launching works represent a technical phase of the construction project that requires temporary traffic restrictions to ensure safety and efficient execution.
Road users are advised to factor in additional travel time when planning trips during the affected periods and to follow directional signs and instructions from traffic management personnel on site.
The Ghana Highway Authority apologized for any inconvenience the temporary closure may cause and assured the public that measures have been put in place to minimize disruption to traffic flow.
