Achimota Transport Terminal

The construction of the terminal was started in 2004, by President Kufour of the New Patriotic Party. The aim was to reduce congestion on the Accra-Nsawam road, which was particularly heavy between the Apenkwa Interchange and Achimota. The road is used as a major route connecting Accra to other Ghanaian cities such as Kumasi and Tamale, as well as carrying traffic to Burkina Faso and Mali.^[2]

The project took around five years to finish and cost GH¢1.2 million.^[2] The terminal was officially opened on 17 December 2009.^[2]

The terminal has 800 vehicle parking spaces, 80 toilets, 10 canteen rooms, a clinic and a police station.^[2] There is also a separate area for charcoal trucks.^[2]
