:) Post pics of beautiful highways/motorways/freeways/expressways of you country.So.....emm.... lets get going :cheers:

I thought I was gonna look at all the cool pictures of african highways.

It would be really cool since africa's image is pretty bad.

Here are some pics from Ghana:

^^ Looks like to be an expressway so how come people are standing at side of road?

They could get hit (even 30 40 mph would be fatal) :eek:

in africa people walk along major highways and many people do get hit. Here in jozi people try to cross major 6 lane highways! its madness. especially at night!! we see dead people who have been hit by cars on the side of the road quite often. (i have seen 4 on beyers naude since january)

They should make pedestrian bridges on these highways.

even in many asian or Latin American countries people use to cross highways. That is not restricted to Africa.

This think with tha highway is that is has been newly built and construction work is still going on their although cars are already driving on it.

Where in Ghana is that? And who built it?

Naga Solidus,

here is some more information which was attached to the photos

Tetteh Quarshie Interchange (name of the interchange)

"Police personnel have been stationed at various points at the newly constructed Tetteh Quarshie Interchange to help drivers navigate the confusing maze of interconnected roads. Apart from instructing the drivers about directions, the officers are also distributing pamphlets on how to use the new interchange.
The interchange is expected to ease traffic on the Legon-Accra route. The 80 billion-cedi project is yet to be fully completed but it was opened to traffic on Sunday, with minor works still underway"

http://www.ghanaweb.biz/GHP/img/pics/news/41457825.full.jpg

PS: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND PICTURES OF LAGOS HIGHWAYS (MOST ARE SIX LANE HIGHWAYS) .....ABUJA EVEN HAS EIGHT LANE HIGHWAYS BUT it is impossible to find photos on the internet......NIGERIAS ARE VERY LAZY AT PORTRAYING THEIR COUNTRY TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD....NO PHOTOS TO BE FOUND

Cant find some moroccan ones:(
But i'll make some photos this summer;)

So is this the first grade-seperated roadway interchange in Ghana? Or do they have any further grade seperation at subsequent junctions?

I can't figure out why.

Naga-Solidus, Well, there must be others by now. This junction is new, however. I have only been once to Ghana and that is 10 years back (on a week-end trip from Côte d´ivoire, where I lived). 10 years ago Ghana was much less developed than it is nowadays. ...and in the 80´s it was a no go area. Things have considerably improved since then tahks to Rawlings and Kufuor.

I cannot understand why there are virtually new pics on Nigeria´s expressways. Currently there is a lot of road construction going on in Nigeria.

Not sure if this is classified as an expressway but here are some Accra, Ghana roads

Most of the photos are within city highways,orbital highways etc.

Can anyone plz post inter-city( from one city to another) highways/motorways/expressways?

Hmmm...could pass for Miami. Africa has some suprising infrastructure. Very developed in places.

wow very nice do you know where this road is, it looks dangeourous but unique , i guess it should be in the south

^^
Yeah probably somewhere in the area of Marrakech, Ourzazate. Somewhere near a big Kasbah:D

Impressive road, you could say that :runaway:

wow very nice do you know where this road is, it looks dangeourous but unique , i guess it should be in the south
I think this is the Tizi-n-Tichka road... I travelled there with friends... the result for some of them: :puke:

:D :D

That road looks familiar, I think it's an off the beaten track road (That's why you dont see any cars) a little bit south of MRK on the way to a small village called Sidi Brahim or something, cant really remember the name...

In Ethiopia, it's hard to find decent pics but I managed to get some,

I love this thread....

Moroccan roads are better than most of the roads here in Germany which have bcome "terribly" potholed in recent years(considering that germany is a rich country)

Abesha, I am really amazed...is that highway outside of Addis or within Addis?

a small pic, but if you strain your eyes you can see it is six-alne highway in Abuja (Nigeria)

http://www.helloabuja.com/images/thumb_localimageB_1.jpg

The Ethiopian way looks big, but it's empty...I guess it isnt rush hour;)

this should be banned ;)

Other than that Morocco has some good highways!

A Turkish company is making a trans-med way(From Tangiers to Saidia allong the coast) We drove a bit on it even when it was unpaved(still u/c), still good to do.

@SE9

Indeed lol, don't you have those in Kenya (assuming you're from kenya) ?

In recenty years the governement started to build a lot more roads that link the various cities and towns of Gabon (road bulding cost are one of te highest in the world). In the 70´s and 80´s tarred roads outside of the the three big towns were very little developped (as Gabon´s population in the 70´s was just below 500 000)

Here are a few pics from overland "highways" in Gabon that link the various parts of that very sparsely populated country

I wouldnt drive behind that one:eek:
What if one tree falls off!!!

Matthias, I'm not sure. I think it's right outside the city, or it's connected to the Ring Road that was finished a couple of years ago. I think it's a few miles out of the city though because it looks like quite a rural area whereas the Ring Road is right in the middle of the chaos of the city!

I had actually put other pictures in that post but for some reason they didn't show up. Here they are again, hope they work.

Ring Road 1 (http://flickr.com/photos/ethioblogger/95298609/)

Ring Road 2 (http://flickr.com/photos/ethioblogger/95298596/in/photostream/)

The ring road is the bridge btw. Here is some more pics of the highway outside the city in really bad quality.

Highway outside of Addis (http://www.ethiopians.com/photoessay/ringroad_03_3.jpg)

Highway outside Addis 2 (http://www.ethiopians.com/photoessay/ringroad_03_8.jpg)

As for being busy, it depends on the time of day as well as day of the week. People in Addis love going out of town for the weekend so it can get quite busy, however I don't think they have huge traffic problems there. Those happen in the city streets.

Abesha, the pics are really nice...I have read that the Chinese are building a highway in ethiopia in a German paper lately. Is that true? Addis looks really nice and inviting on the pics you posted. Hope you will continue to post images on Addis its projects and beyond... :)

The Third Mainland Bridge is the longest of three bridges connecting Lagos Island and it is a six-lane highway, Lagos, Nigeria to the mainland, the other two being the Eko and Carter bridges. The bridge starts from Oworonshoki which is linked to the Apapa-Oshodi express way and Lagos-Ibadan express way. The Third Mainland Bridge spans over several kilomtres just over the sea and lagoon. Plans are already in the pipeline to build a Fourth Mainland Bridge which should even be longer than the third Mainland Bridge.

drive away.

By this time, the N1 is passing Pretoria about 10 kilometers to its left, you

Highways to Soweto, the biggest ghetto in Johannesburg and South Africa

http://static.flickr.com/143/320504259_46fdc1aefa.jpg?v=0

You can take this off-ramp to enter Soweto from the North or proceed
towards Kimberly/Bloemfontein to enter Soweto from the far South.

http://static.flickr.com/1/129550318_3644bd1bb8.jpg?v=0

If you chose to enter Soweto on the South end, you would have stuck to this highway which ultimately offers
an off-ramp at the Everton cemetory. On the left of this highway, is Lenasia and other mostly indian areas.

Rush hour traffic on N1 motorway to Pretoria, the primary reason why
Gautrain (Rapid rail link) is being constructed.

Cape Town's dead-end highway

Odd ones as well, This highway never got completed, the exact reason is now part of an urban legend.
Some people say the chief engineer, kind of missed the connection of both ends by a wide inch while
some say there was a financial scandal. I am not sure which is true, but its been like this for decades now.
And lately i have even heard some people say they can't connect the two highways because there someone
who built a shop in front of the highway!!

Somalia's "highways" were once decent, with 2-4 laned highways...

But, with the lack of maintainance since the war, a lot have been turning into dirt roads, and some have become basically nothing.

There has been some re-paving, from what I saw, in Somaliland, but just 2 lanes.

long and winding roads

Most highways typically have gas stations on either side every so often

^^ Nice ones...plz mention location of pics.

Are all of those in SA?

yes, SA has an extensive road network covering all cities, all towns and most rural areas (generally most rural areas can be reached by paved road or are within about 10 kilometers of one). The main national road networks are toll roads and i often have to pay $4 per toll-gate and encounter 5-7 tollgates (about $26 per trip) when going to Durban, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Witbank, Nelspruit, Port Elizabeth or Polokwane (my home city) from Johannesburg. This is used to maintain the highways. I will make an effort to label some of the places. I can't guarantee though that the girl in the picture will still be on the road side when you reach that place. LOL ;)

So it wont be worth visiting after all? :lol:

Can you, or anyone else, post the Jos-Bauchi highway pic ( taken recently). The last time i lived there(1997), it was a simple highway( 2 lanes in all) but there was a plan to convert it into an expressway. Any news on that?

Mathias , are you labelling that an expressway because of 4 lanes?

... i mean no fencing, no center divider...people can cross and cars can make U-turns?

Don't we have a strict definitions of expressways and motorways in nigeria. I would label that as a good highway...but not an expressway. Or am i missing something.

Kbboy

Yes I am Nigeria, but i live in the UK

Kboy, yes you are right it should be labelled as a highway. It is not an expressway in a strict sense of the word and by definition.

Kulani, the name of the bridge is called "Ajaokuta Bridge". Beneath that bridge flows the mighty Niger River. The bridge is almost 3 km long and it used to be a toll bridge!

This is a partial view of Third Mailand Bridge in Lagos (3 to 3 hghway and it is almost 12 km long)

http://www.nelsonsouto.com/images/181017.jpg


The Third Mainland Bridge is the longest of three bridges connecting Lagos Island, Lagos, Nigeria to the mainland, the other two being the Eko and Carter bridges. The bridge starts from Oworonshoki which is linked to the Apapa-Oshodi express way and Lagos-Ibadan express way, and ends at the Adeniji Adele Interchange on Lagos Island. There is also a link midway through the bridge that leads to the Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba. The Bridge was commissioned by President Ibrahim Babangida in 1990 and measures about 11.8km in length.

^^Wow that bridge is impressive, Matt.

Ahmed that interchange in Khartoum is nice..do you happen to have any more pictures from Khartoum?

^^ if you mean pics of the city then yes i do, but if you mean pics of highway then no, this is likely the only photo that i have.

Incredible thread. I've always loved highway photos. There are some pretty good African highway videos if you do a Google Video search for Gumball 3000 or Gumball Rally.

Gambia: Cross Border Road Repairs Contract Signed

The Gambia Journal (Banjul)

Banjul

A contract for the upgrading and reconstruction of five stretches of roads funded at the tune of 40 million Euros by the European Commission has been signed between Ballast Nedam Africa BV and the Government of The Gambia.

The signing of the contract took place on 29 December 2006 at the Department of State for Finance and Economic Affairs in Banjul.

The roads to be reconstructed by Ballast Nedam Africa, a Dutch company, include Barra-Amdalaye, Trans-Gambia Highway, Mandinaba-Seleti, Soma-Basse, and Basse-Sabi-Wellingara. The total "contract cost is Euro 39,422,728".

"This amount is part of the Forty Four Million Euro EC Grant to The Gambia to support the implementation of our National Transport Plan under the 9th EDF," said the Secretary of State for Finance and Economic Affairs, Musa Bala-Gaye during the signing ceremony.

Hon. Bala-Gaye said: "In our commitment to fair competition we, the National Authorities, worked very closely with the office of the European Delegation in Banjul, in ensuring strict adherence to the European Development Fund's Tendering and Contracting Procedures."

This, he added, enabled the authorities to conclude the tendering and contracting process smoothly and in a timely manner without any hitches.

"Immediately following the signing phase, we expect the contractor to start mobilizing, and according to the roadmap we have established, actual works on the roads are scheduled to commence in April 2007," Hon. Bala-Gaye said.

He expressed hope that the partnership established by the respective parties involved in ensuring the implementation of the EC supports to the National Transport Plan would be further strengthened "with the contractor now coming on board".

Has anyone got pictures of the Lagos - Ibadan expressway. I understand that the whole expressway has been refurbished and turned into a six lane expressway. Also does antone have pictures of the Ibadan - Ife expressway

Matthias, I'm sure you're familiar with the German AutoBahns (The car only Freeways), do you think an African country can ever have such an advanced road system:)

ZA already has a comparably advanced road system, so in a sense, yes, there is already one African country with such a road system. Sadly, it has a speed limit (like practically all roads outside of Germany do).

Again a myth, most roads in Germany at least the "Autobahns" have speed limits, too. and they ones that´s dont, do not allow fast driving ´cos they are either clogged most of the time or simply too bumpy!:lol:
