The upcoming decongestion exercise by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) will target areas around the AMA Head Office, Kinbu Road to Railways, ECG Junction to the King Tackie Tawiah Statue, Zongo Lane, and Opera Square to Adabraka on the first day of the operation, scheduled for Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Day 2 will see action from Wato Junction through King Tackie Tawiah School and Cow Lane, UTC Road to Timber Market, and parts of the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, including Las Palmas and Glamour Road, while Day 3 will target the remaining portions of the Circle and the Kaneshie enclave, including Pamprom Lane and the footbridges.
The three-day phase exercise is being spearheaded by the AMA and the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA), with support from the Ghana Police Service, market leaders, transport unions, and other key stakeholders.
In a statement issued by the AMA on Friday, it said the exercise is in strict enforcement of the AMA Hawkers Bye-Laws (2017) and Section 117(1) of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2180), both of which prohibit activities that impede pedestrian and vehicular movement in public areas.
