Popular Ghanaian skit comedian SDK has expressed his frustration on social media regarding the Tema motorway‘s expansion project.
Despite funds being allocated for the upgrade, SDK highlights that there has been minimal progress.
In a series of tweets, he criticized the project, noting that while the motorway’s sides were initially cleared, they have since become overgrown with bushes, suggesting that work has stalled.
He pointed out, “They used IMF funds for the motorway expansion, but no significant work has been done. They cleared the sides for expansion, and now it’s just overgrown again—shameful.”
SDK also raised concerns about ongoing issues such as large potholes and the lack of street lighting, which continue to endanger drivers. He stated, “The motorway still has major potholes and no street lights.”
His comments echo the sentiments of many Ghanaians who are doubtful about the progress and management of the expansion project, which aims to widen the 19.5-kilometre stretch from the Tetteh Quarshie roundabout to the Tema roundabout into a 10-lane highway. The project, which began in January 2024, has been criticized for its slow pace and questionable use of funds.
