Youth of Adentan have mounted a blockade on the Madina highway following the killing of a middle-aged woman Thursday afternoon.
They burnt tyres and threatened motorists as they expressed anger over the carnage on the highway.
The killing of the woman on Thursday brought the situation to a head triggering the action of the youth, who had planned a vigil for Friday.
Eye witnesses say the youth were undaunted by the presence of police and fire officers, who rushed to the scene to ensure calm.
Deaths on the Madina-Adentan highway have been on the ascendancy with residents blaming the situation on lack of footbridges.
Government has indicated that budget allocation has been made for the resumption of work on the highway in 2019.

All the countries where you see instability , they have witnessed things like this until the citizen became fed up . Our politicians need to be taught some good lessons . whether you are NDC or NPP the taxpayers money must be used wisely and accounted for . We the citizens are not holding governments to account . All we know is NDC and NPP . When you raised important national issues , the only this you hear is JM and NPP that is all the intelligence . It will not help because the politician know they are ***barred word*** who will talk and defend them . Whether you are NDC or NPP know that you are suffering from a common sickness if you cant talk about important national issues and put politics aside .
The Tema Roundout is a total waste of money. Why because it was constructed last two years which has really reduced the traffic on the road and so we could have used it for five or ten years before expanding it. Why are we in a rush to expand it when it is ok for now. Why do this when we can use that money to work on the suspended coot bridges and bad roads in the Country. Our politicians are only looking for fame and popularity without considering the real needs of the people and their interest.
Nana Addo ,pls show the man that you say you are. Get the engineers to fix the traffic lights tomorrow as a matter of urgecy while we work to get the foot bridges in place. If the traffic lights are working it will force drivers to slow down and pedestrians will take advantage of the traffic light to cross.
we should start killing these our so called leaders, before they finish us because of their ***barred word*** interest. Ghana the youth are very week. we should all come together and fight this ***barred word*** leaders. common foot bridge they cant do it. But to chop money and women diee they will do. Shameeeeee
This is irresponsibility on the part of the Government represented by the Roads and Highways minister. This is a big disappointment.
They have money to buy v8 and refurbish their houses but no money for footbridges and ambulance for the masses.
