Tse Addo trotro route asphalted and modernised

The Tse Addo trotro route has been asphalted and fitted with overhead solar traffic lights. Tse Addo is the community behind the Trade fair at La. This neighborhood has the Zenith University College and the La Dadekotopon Local Council. It also serves a large number of residents and offices.

Bus gets stuck on Kaneshie Kanda trotro route

A bus got stuck on the Kaneshie Kanda trotro route this morning. The bus was headed towards the King Tackie Overpass when it sank into mud under the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange. The roads beneath the clover leaf are been constructed so there was a lot of excavation and fresh sand filing. It rained yesterday so the ground had become soft as it had no asphalt or concrete coating. The incident posed no harm or danger but converted the Kaneshie Lapaz Osu trotro route into a one way lane, thus delaying traffic.
