The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, has given the owners of a billboard at the Ashaiman Roundabout one week to dismantle and remove it, warning that the Ministry will take it down if they fail to do so.
The Minister said the billboard lies within the right-of-way of the ongoing 64.4-kilometre Ashaiman Roundabout–Atimpoku Junction road project. It is obstructing construction, particularly work on the planned flyover at the interchange.
During an inspection tour of the Eastern Corridor, Mr Agbodza said the structure was interfering with the contractor’s operations and could further delay the project.
He also urged members of the public and property owners to keep clear of the road’s right-of-way as contractors step up work to complete the project.
“Whoever owns and operates the billboard at the Ashaiman Roundabout should note that it is currently within the right-of-way. We are giving them one week to decommission and remove it because a flyover is being built there, and we cannot work around the billboard. It must be removed.
“If it has not been decommissioned by this time next week, we will remove it ourselves to ensure that the contractor’s work is not disrupted,” he said.
