Greater Accra Region - Transportation

Transportation

The Greater Accra region is served by the Kotoka International Airport in Accra. Three National highways – N1, N2, N4 and N6 – and one Regional highway – R40 – pass through the region. In addition, the ECOWAS coastal highway links Accra in the Greater Accra region to other major population centers across the West African coast.

N1 enters the region in Ada to the east and runs west, intersecting the N2 at Tema, the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange, and the N6 at Achimota. It passes through Kokrobite and exits the region at Weija where it continues on through the Central Region to Elubo in the Western region. The N2 crosses the Eastern Regional border into Asikuma and runs north entering the Upper East Region, ending at Kulungugu. The N4 heads north from the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange, while the N6 originates from Achimota. These highways cut through the northern part of the region and terminate at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
