Upgrading of N1 Highway Between Tetteh Quarshie Interchange and Mallam Road Junction, Accra, <strong>Ghana</strong>.Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), Lot 21.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe project road between Apenkwa Interchange and Mallam Road Junction forms the secondpart of the TettehQuarshie-Mallam Junction Road. This 14km road that begins at the Tetteh-Quarshie Interchange to the east intersects of the Nsawam road at about kilometer 5.5 (via theApenkwa Interchange) and ends at Mallam Junction. As a major highway that links Accra withthe Southwest of the country (via the Accra-Winneba road), the TQM is a continuation of theN1 Highway. Figure 1-1 above shows the TQM road in relation to the entire N1 highway.The project road in its current state is mostly a two-lane undivided urban facility with asphalticconcrete surfacing. It is a transport facility that is heavily trafficked, with volumes rangingbetween 25,700 and 30,800 vehicles per day. The southern carriageway had been developedinto an asphaltic concrete road but is in a poor to fair condition. However, the Northerncarriageway had been developed only to formation level and not being used at present for thethrough traffic because of its current poor state. The existing carriageway has a width varyingfrom 7.0m to 7.8m, while the width of the shoulders varies between 0.6 and 2.4m.The project road lies entirely in the Greater Accra Region, and serves as a bypass to the CentralBusiness District (CBD) of Accra for road users to and from Central, Western and EasternRegions of the Country. Apart from this, the TQM also serves a number of functions:• It is a major through road for international and inter-regional traffic.• It is a major urban orbital distributor providing the only continuous east-west connectoracross the city outside the inner Ring Road.• It is a major local distributor of traffic between residential developments, local marketcenters, businesses and urban centers along the route.• It is the location of major interchanges between city and suburban mass transit/publictransit services provided by taxis, minibuses and buses.This RAP focuses on Lot 2; a distance of 8km. Aside from the intense development along bothsides and throughout the ROW, the busy nature of the road corridor also makes it heavilychoked with traffic throughout the day. The Abeka-Lapaz Junction was identified as an areacrowded with hawkers and traders intermingling with transiting passengers. Other worst pointsof traffic congestion along the corridor include the major intersections at Darkuman,Kwashieman, Awoshie and the Mallam Junction. These areas are characterized by intensebusiness activities.Work on Lot 2 will be carried out in two phases. The reconstruction of Phase 1 comprises acomplete upgrading of the Km 6+000 - 14+119 consisting of a six lane section supposed to havea standard divided configuration with two carriageways of 10.50 width separated by a 3 meterwide median.4
