In a growing chorus of concern and frustration, motorists are calling on the government to take immediate action to address the perilous conditions of the Tema Motorway.
The Tema Motorway which is a vital transportation route connecting the country’s capital, Accra, to the port city of Tema, has become a source of anxiety for commuters and residents alike due to its deteriorating state.
The Tema Motorway, which is also a critical link for trade and commerce in Ghana, has been plagued by potholes, poor road markings, and inadequate lighting, creating a hazardous environment for both drivers and pedestrians.
Recent accidents and fatalities on the motorway have amplified the urgency of the situation, prompting citizens to voice their concerns.
Many Ghanaians have taken to social media platform X formerly Twitter to share harrowing stories of their experiences on the Tema Motorway, emphasizing the need for immediate repairs and safety enhancements.
Concerns have also been raised about the impact of the motorway’s condition on economic activities, as it serves as a vital route for transporting goods to and from the port.
And yes, at night, the entire Motorway is completely dark so you’re likely not to see these! #FixTheMotorway #FixTheTemaMotorway
I remember the @mrhgovgh minister saying the asphalt that had been used to patch the motorway was the best he’d ever seen!

Mr Politician is hoarding all the money for development at his House in cash to be used for Election campaigns instead of national development. One day your child will come to Ghana for holiday and fall victim only then you will realise your stupidity.#FixTheTemaMotorway pic.twitter.com/e4INuscVk3
