The Ghana Police Service has announced to motorists that some roads in Accra will be temporarily closed on Friday, 6 March 2026, in connection with the 69th Independence Anniversary Celebration to be held at the Jubilee House.
The roads to be affected include Liberation Road from the Opeibea Intersection towards the Central Business District, Independence Avenue at the Ako Adjei By-pass, and Jawaharlal Nehru Road.
These roads will be reopened to the public after the event, a statement issued by the Police said.
Motorists using Liberation Road are advised to use Kaokudi Road through the Kanda Highway to connect to Barnes Road towards the Central Business District, or use Giffard Road towards Osu. Motorists on Independence Avenue will be diverted through the Kanda Highway to Ring Road Central and proceed to the 37 Intersection and other destinations.
The Police further advised motorists to plan their journeys ahead of time and use alternative routes where necessary.
No vehicle will be allowed to park at unauthorised places along the affected roads. Security vehicles and vehicles conveying dignitaries will be allowed access after thorough checks.
Traffic Police officers will be deployed to direct motorists to designated car parks and diversion points, while towing vehicles will be available to remove any abandoned, disabled, or wrongly parked vehicles.
The Ghana Police Service therefore urged the public to cooperate with officers on duty to ensure effective traffic management.
