THE Police Administration has said that due to the official visit of the President of the United States of America, George Walker Bush, some major roads in the capital would be sealed off to all vehicular traffic from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday February 19, 2008, before the arrival of the President.
In a release issued in Accra yesterday and signed by the Director of Police Public Affairs Directorate, DSP Kwesi Ofori over the weekend mentioned the affected roads as follows: The Liberation Road — from the Association International School Junction to the Airport traffic light through 37 roundabout to Afrikiko traffic light.
The Airport by-pass — from Airport roundabout to El-wak traffic light, the 4th Circular Road-from Ghana International School (GIS) junction to El-Wak traffic light and the Giffard Road — from 37 roundabout through El-wak traffic light to the Congo junction.
The release said the Burma Camp Road — from the Congo junction to the La ‘T’ Junction and the La by-pass — from La road ‘U’ turn to the Teshie Police Station.
It also urged the public to note that other road seal-offs may be carried out between February 19 to 21, 2008 at a very short notice but that would also be announced in due course.
The release, therefore, advised motorists to resort to alternative routes to their destinations.
The police also entreated all members of the public to co-operate with them to ensure a peaceful and successful exercise.
Meanwhile, the release said any inconvenience that these road blockades may cause to motorists and other road users is deeply regretted.
