As part of the project, the N1 Accra-Tema highway through to the Aflao road would have a 2.1-kilometre, three-lane dual carriageway with 190-meter underpads. The project will also include Tema Beach Road.
According to Vice President Bawumia, the second phase would increase the total number of interchanges the government has built or is currently working on finishing. He gave the Ministry of Roads and Highways the task of seeing that the project was completed.
Phase one of the Tema Motorway roundabout was completed in 2020, which involved the construction of a 2.1-kilometre, three-lane dual carriageway with a 190-meter underpass on National Route N1. Other improvements included a 1.9 km long two-lane dual carriageway connecting the Harbour and Akosombo roads.

Tema-Mpakadan Railway Project to be Completed by December 2022

The project aims to give residents a quicker mode of transportation. Hon. John-Peter Amewu, Ghana's Minister for Railway Development, announced the information. Since Ghana's railway system has been inactive and out of commission for a while, many people have supported the Tema-Mpakadan railway project.
