The Ministry of Roads and Highways has announced a new traffic diversion on the N6 dual carriageway as contractors begin critical asphalt works on the Ofankor–Nsawam stretch.
A public notice issued on Sunday, December 7, 2025, stated that the main section of the N6 from Ofankor to White House will be closed to motorists from Monday, December 8 to Sunday, December 14, 2025.
According to the Ministry, the temporary closure is necessary to allow contractors to lay asphalt on a two-kilometre portion of the highway, as part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the Ofankor–Nsawam dual carriageway.
The notice explained that enabling works completed at Ofankor over the weekend required a shutdown of the corridor on Saturday night, paving the way for the next phase of construction during the seven-day closure.
During this period, all traffic will be diverted onto the Service Road, from the Ofankor Overpass to White House.

The Ministry assured motorists that directional signs will be installed along the route and urged drivers to obey 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 statement said, adding that the Ministry “deeply regrets” any inconvenience caused to road users.
The Ofankor–Nsawam road rehabilitation is part of a major national highway upgrade aimed at easing mobility, reducing travel time, and boosting economic activity along the busy Accra–Kumasi corridor.
