Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Deadly potholes are taking over the 19-kilometre Accra-Tema motorway, pulseghcom reports.
Potholes have become a plague on the motorway and motorists could spend their journeys choosing between hitting potholes or dangerously swerving around an obstacle course of tarmac craters.
The highway continues to deteriorate and poses a grave danger to motorists.
The Tema-Accra section is the most affected.
It has been reported that 136 people died on the Accra-Tema motorway in 48 months, and with the current state of the road, more people are at risk of losing their lives every day.
The motorway is no longer a fast and easy route to Accra or Tema. It has been ravaged by serious potholes and cracks that drivers must navigate to and fro work.
Being concrete pavement, it is more expensive to construct than asphalt or other bituminous surface roads. The bitumen on the concrete road has separated from the concrete surface with the iron rods showing deep cracks.
