Dr Kwaku Ofosu Asare, Executive Chairman, LOC, African Games flanked by other officials at yesterday\u2019s press conference<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The forthcoming 13th African Games (Accra 2023), is set to boost the economy of the country, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) has said.<\/p>\n
The road contractors at Borteyman, Mrs. Oswald Investment Limited, are confident of completing the School Junction-Borteyman road by December 2023.<\/p>\n
The 6-kilometer road, which starts from School Junction, East Legon, will ease congestion and create access for commuters who will connect from other parts of Accra to Borteyman to experience the 13th African Games.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Oswald Investment Limited, a Ghanaian-owned firm, began the construction of the road in June 2022 and is expected to add finishing touches by the end of December 2023.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kofi Nti Appiah-Agyei, who is the Development Engineer for Urban Roads, explained the benefit of the road beyond the 13th African Games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn terms of functional classification, this is an anterior road. It is a dual carriage lane in each direction. We have a pedestrian walkway along the banks of the road. The cost of the road is around GH\u00a2182 million,\u201d he told Accra2023ag.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cThe road is from School Junction to Motorway, which is about proximately 6 kilometers. It is part of the roads that we are constructing to give credible access and connection to the Games\u2019 centre at Borteyman. It will also be part of the project that will give access to the people from the Northeast part of Accra.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe started work last year in June. As we speak, the contractor has completed about 80 percent of the work. The road is expected to be completed in December 2023. Extensive work has been completed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Ghana is expecting over 13,000 visitors to participate and witness the continental showpiece in the third month of 2024.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chefs de Mission from over 30 countries travelled to Accra on Monday to engage the African Union\u2019s Technical Committee of the African Games (TCAG) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) on the way forward for the event.<\/p>\n
