Work on the expansion of the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange is progressing steadily as engineers successfully launched three additional T-beams on Sunday during ongoing bridge expansion works along the N1 Highway.
According to the Acting Director of Public Affairs at the Ghana Highway Authority, Cecil Nii Obodai Wentum, the successful installation of the beams on the second day of operations marks a key stage in the project.
He explained that the beam launching forms a critical part of the bridge expansion works and is being carried out carefully by the contractor and project consultants under the close supervision of engineers from the authority.
During the operations, the Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, who is also the Member of Parliament for Adaklu, paid an unannounced visit to the project site to observe progress and interact with engineers and workers on duty.
The minister commended the project teams for their commitment and encouraged them to maintain the high standards being demonstrated in the execution of the work.
Mr Wentum noted that the Public Affairs Division of the highway authority continues to keep motorists and the public informed about the project and the temporary traffic management measures introduced to ensure safety during the beam launching operations.
He expressed appreciation to motorists and the general public for their cooperation as work continues to improve traffic flow and mobility along the busy corridor.
The expansion project is expected to ease congestion and enhance movement along the N1 Highway once completed.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
