The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has commenced a 40-day decongestion exercise aimed at clearing traders occupying bus stops, walkways and other designated public spaces across the capital.
The exercise began on Monday, November 9, 2026, as part of efforts to restore order in public spaces, improve pedestrian movement and ease congestion within the city.
According to the Assembly, the operation covers several busy commercial and transport locations, including the ATU Bus Stop, Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, Telecom Bus Stop, Kingsway, Kantamanto, Rawlings Park and the 31st December Market area.
The exercise is expected to address the unauthorised occupation of bus stops and other public spaces by traders, which often affects pedestrian access and the movement of vehicles.
The 40-day operation forms part of the AMA’s broader efforts to improve sanitation, regulate trading activities and maintain order in Accra.
The Assembly is expected to continue the exercise across the identified areas throughout the 40-day period.
