Some roads will be closed in Accra by the police owing to the summit of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Ebola which is scheduled to take place at the Movenpick Hotel in Accra from 6-7 November, 2014

In connection with the summit of Heads of States and Government of the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) on Ebola scheduled to take place at the Movenpick Hotel in Accra on 6th and 7th November, 2014, the general motoring public is hereby informed that the following traffic management strategies have been put in place to ensure sanity and security on all routes leading to the conference venue and other security zones.

ROAD CLOSURE

Traffic from Movenpick Hotel to Airport Traffic Light on the Independence Avenue (Accra Bound) will be closed to the general public.

Traffic diversions

Traffic on the Liberation Road approaching the National Theatre Traffic Light to Ministries area will be diverted onto the Barnes Road to take detour from the Accra Polytechnic to the Ministries Area.

Traffic emanating from the Liberia Road will be diverted onto the Castle Road through AU Circle, through Ridge Roundabout to various destinations.

Traffic on the Independence Avenue between AU Circle and Novotel will be on a single carriageway in both directions.

The Independence Avenue (from Association Traffic Intersection to Movenpick Hotel) will be converted into a one way and segregated to allow smooth passage of VVIP convoys. At the same time traffic from the AU Circle will also use the other portion of the single carriage way in both directions.

Motorists are further advised to note these arrangements and plan alternative routes before embarking on their journey. No vehicle will be allowed to park or drive through the mentioned sealed roads. Traffic officers will be on hand to give assistance to motorists on alternative diverted routes.
