Is There an Accident on Kasoa–Mallam Road Today?
As of the latest reports checked today, there is no verified report confirming a major accident specifically along the Kasoa–Mallam Road corridor.

Traffic Between Mallam and Kasoa
The wider Kasoa–Mallam corridor has also experienced persistent congestion because of poor road conditions, potholes, drainage problems and bottlenecks around the SCC–Old Barrier and Mallam Junction areas.
Recent reporting described significant delays on this stretch, particularly during peak morning and evening periods. (Modern Ghana)
What Can Cause Delays on This Route?
Common causes include:
- Road accidents
- Broken-down vehicles
- Road construction
- Poor road conditions
- Flooding and drainage problems
- Heavy commuter traffic
- Passenger loading and dropping
- Traffic around Mallam and Kaneshie junctions
An incident at one point can quickly create long queues because of the volume of vehicles using the highway.
What to Check Before Travelling
Before using the Accra–Cape Coast Highway, check the latest traffic situation for your direction of travel.
If you are travelling from Kasoa towards Kaneshie, allow additional time for congestion around Mallam and the affected Kaneshie/Pamprom area.
For flights, business meetings, deliveries or other time-sensitive journeys, leaving early is particularly important.
If You Encounter an Accident
If you encounter an accident on the highway, slow down and follow instructions from traffic officials and emergency responders.
Avoid stopping unnecessarily around the crash scene, as this can increase congestion and obstruct emergency vehicles.
Tribal and Cultural Considerations
The Kasoa–Accra corridor connects communities with diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Travellers should communicate respectfully with drivers, passengers, traders and residents along the route.
When travelling to an unfamiliar destination, provide a clear address, nearby landmark and working phone number to make the final part of the journey easier.
