Some social media users on Twitter are dissatisfied with the current state of the Accra-Tema Motorway.
For months, the pothole-ridden and rough route, which serves as a critical transportation link between Accra, the economic and administrative center of Ghana, and Tema, has continued to be a disservice to motorists as lives have been lost and the cost of car maintenance has surged.
In a recent video shared by Twitter user, @AsieduMends, the bad state of the road is once again brought to bare.

Reacting to this, some tweeps noted how dangerous it has now become and how heartbreaking it is for the government to sit aloof while several lives are endangered on the road.
Per reports, while the section of road from Tema to Accra remains in a deteriorated state, the segment near the Ashaiman tollbooth has been severely impacted by potholes, with transit trucks often parked on the shoulders for extended periods. Additionally, erosion has eroded the edges of the road.
Furthermore, the portion just before the Abattoir Bridge, which had been recently repaired, has now developed potholes, compelling drivers to reduce their speed.
This situation results in traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, that extends all the way to the Ashaiman underbridge area.
