GACL Announces Month-Long Partial Road Closure at Kotoka International Airport Terminal 2

The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has announced a temporary partial closure of the road in front of the Terminal 2 Departure Hall at Kotoka International Airport (KIA). Effective Monday, May 11, 2026, the closure is expected to last for approximately one month. This measure is essential to facilitate critical infrastructure improvements, specifically focusing on safe refitting works for the terminal’s frontage and facade. As one of the primary transit points in the country, the GACL is prioritizing these structural updates to maintain safety and service standards at the facility.

During the one-month construction period, both vehicular and pedestrian access to the Terminal 2 departure frontage will be significantly restricted. The refitting works are part of a broader effort to enhance the airport’s infrastructure, ensuring the building’s exterior meets modern safety and aesthetic requirements. Travelers and visitors to the airport should expect changes in the usual traffic flow and pedestrian pathways near the departure hall, which may require additional time for drop-offs and entry into the terminal.

To mitigate potential disruptions, the GACL has implemented a comprehensive traffic management plan. Dedicated traffic personnel will be stationed on-site to guide motorists and pedestrians, while clear directional signage will be installed to help commuters navigate the modified routes. The airport management has expressed regret for any inconvenience the construction may cause and is appealing for the full cooperation of the public. Passengers are advised to follow all instructions from site personnel and to stay alert to signage to ensure a smooth transit experience during the renovation phase.
