Accra Traffic Gridlock: Fog and Construction Cause Major Delays on Tema-Accra Highway Accra, Ghana – June 3, 2025 – Commuters traveling along the Tema-Accra highway faced significant delays this morning due to a combination of heavy fog and ongoing road construction. The reduced visibility, coupled with the narrowed road space, resulted in a major traffic buildup. "The traffic is very heavy," reported SkobaPR7, a digital marketing consultant who captured the scene on video. "Understandably, there is construction on that stretch, causing a bit of traffic. But you cannot discount the weather; it's also having its toll." The video shows a long line of vehicles slowly moving through the construction zone, where visibility is significantly hampered by the dense fog. Pedestrians can be seen cautiously walking along the roadside. Authorities have not yet issued any official statements regarding the traffic situation. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes if possible and exercise caution while driving in the area. The incident highlights the need for improved infrastructure and proactive measures to manage traffic flow during periods of inclement weather.
