Labadi, Accra, Ghana. This picture shows the south section of the 37 Military hospital La Palm road that passes through Palm Wine junction at Labadi. This trotro route branches out at Trade Fair to Tse Addo, Maami and T Junction. Its one of the recently upgraded urban highways in Accra to ease traffic and provide speedy interconnections between busy neighborhoods. This trotro route makes an ideal choice for passengers transiting from Legon to Teshie and Nungua or from Labadi Wireless to Osu. It has one of the most elaborate bus stop spaces in the City and is lit by solar panel lamps end to end. Trotro stops along the way are T Junction Trade Fair Kpogas Palm Wine Congo Junction Lands 37

The Accra High Street trotro route that links Osu and Labadi to Chokor, Dansoman and Tema Station will experience a slight a interruption today because of a high profile judicial hearing at the Supreme Court of Ghana. The Courts are located alongside this major commercial street. As spectators aggregate around the complex, there will be a slowdown in traffic movement on the section from the New Court Complex to Stanchart Bank. The jam should ease around 5 am when the court sitting would have been over. Trotro vehicles making East East movements are likely to circumvent the Courts and bypass the Customs Headquarters to arrive at Tema station or move on to inner city suburbs like Arena or Opera square.

The Lapaz Accra trotro route has been modernized to allow more traffic and speed up transit times.  Vehicles from Alajo, Tesano and Avenor no longer wind the underside to reach Adabraka and Accra railways onwards to post office. From the old Orion Cinema, trotro buses will ascend the fly over [North] and descend at the GCB Towers [South], thus avoiding  meandering through traffic from Kanda [East]. In this photo, the North South section of the new Overhead bridge at Nkrumah circle can be seen. The red net in the foreground has been mounted to protect freshly grown green grass under the bridge.  Its been considered that vicinity of roads in Accra look too concrete so the engineers have decided to make the pavement and precincts more organic.

This photo shows the new trotro route on the Ring Road. Here, we can see the eastern section of the new bridge which is yet to be opened to the public. Accra trotro buses moving from Kanda to Kanehsie will no longer circle the Kwame Nkrumah roundabout but rather fly over and descend at New Times Corporation junction when the new Kwame Nkrumah interchange is completed.

An Accra trotro bus was spotted grounded on the Ring Road Central. The bus had both right tyres flattened out in what looked like a rare puncture or loose tyre. This dual carriage links the Eastern section of the city to the west and is therefore extremely busy. This bus was seen in this state around 6.40 am, suggesting that a heavy traffic will build up as the morning rolls on. The storey building with red and grey accents is the Societe Generale head office near the ATTC, Bus Stop restaurant, Busy Internet or Paloma hotel. Commuters to Kaneshie, Labadi, Kanda and Osu may experience delays unless its towed away quickly.
