The Ministry of Roads and Highways has announced a fresh traffic diversion on the N6 dual carriageway as contractors begin critical asphalt works on a section of the Ofankor–Nsawam road.

In a public notice issued on Sunday, December 7, 2025, the project team said the main stretch of the N6 from Ofankor to White House will be closed to traffic from Monday, December 8 to Sunday, December 14, 2025.

The temporary closure, according to the statement, will allow contractors to lay asphalt on a 2-kilometre section of the road, forming part of ongoing rehabilitation works on the Ofankor–Nsawam dual carriageway.

The team explained that preparatory works carried out at Ofankor over the weekend required a brief shutdown of the corridor on Saturday night, and the upcoming week-long closure represents the next phase of the project.

During the period, all motorists will be diverted onto the Service Road from the Ofankor Overpass to White House. Directional signage will be placed along the route, and drivers are advised to follow traffic instructions to minimise congestion and ensure safety.

“We appreciate your support during the closure of the road from Neoplan on December 6, 2025 and seek your cooperation for the continuation,” the notice said, adding that any inconvenience caused to the travelling public is “deeply regretted.”

The Ofankor–Nsawam road upgrade is part of a major highway rehabilitation programme aimed at improving mobility, cutting travel time, and boosting commercial activity along the busy Accra–Kumasi corridor.
