The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has given the owner of a billboard at the Ashaiman Roundabout one week to dismantle and remove the structure or risk having it pulled down by the Ministry.
The Minister says the billboard is located within the right-of-way of the ongoing 64.4-kilometre Ashaiman Roundabout–Atimpoku Junction road project, where construction works are underway.
He explained that the structure is obstructing construction activities, particularly the planned flyover at the Ashaiman interchange.
Speaking during an inspection tour of the Eastern Corridor, Mr Agbodza said the billboard was affecting the contractor's operations and could delay progress on the project.
He warned that if the owner fails to remove the structure within the one-week deadline, the Ministry will take it down to allow construction works to continue.
The Minister also cautioned the public and property owners against encroaching on the road's right-of-way as contractors intensify efforts to complete the project.
