The Reconstruction of the School Junction-Tema motorway (University Farms Road) project in Borteyman in the Greater Accra Region is still under progress. In April 2022, Messrs Oswal Construction Company Limited was awarded the project’s contract. The estimated completion time is 18 months.

For the 13th All Africa Games in August 2023, the government’s key initiative intends to increase connectivity near the Borteyman Sports Complex. In addition, it entails the development of access and service roads. As well as street lighting, signs, and markings for the roadways.

When Kwasi Amoako-Atta, the Minister of Roads and Highways, visited the site in September of this year as part of a normal inspection of road projects in the Greater Accra area, Humphrey A. Williams, the contractor’s agent, gave him a briefing.

Williams claimed that the earthworks had been built along about 5 kilometers of the route, and he calculated that the road was about 70% complete. The final kilometer would be completed considerably sooner than expected, in the upcoming weeks.
