Sections of the N4 (Tetteh Quarshie-Koforidua) road will be closed down from Saturday, May 8, to Sunday, May 9, 2021, to enable the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) string transmission line conductors along the stretch.

Motorists have been advised to follow the traffic diversion signs which will be placed at the various sections of the N4 – Okponglo, near McDan Offices, La Bawaleshie and East Legon.

“The Ministry of Roads and Highways through the Ghana Highway Authority wishes to inform the public and all road users that some sections of the N4 (Tetteh Quarshie-Koforidua) will experience some minimum to maximum disruptions to traffic flow from Saturday, May 8 to Sunday, May 9th, 2021, between the hours 8 am-12 noon daily. This is to enable GRIDco to undertake the stringing of transmission line conductors across the N4. (Tetteh Quarshie-Madina-Adentan Road),” the statement said.

Just recently, some sections of the N1, N2 and N4 highway were closed down for a similar exercise.

This exercise followed a total power system shutdown, which GRIDCo had attributed to a technical fault on one of the major transmission lines between Prestea and Obuasi.

Specific roads that were closed down included N1, Tema – Aflao before the traffic light at the T.T Brothers Junction, and the N2 (Tema – Akosombo, near the newly-constructed walkway) according to a statement from the Ghana Highway Authority.
