The Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA) has begun demolishing structures around Dwazark Junction in Freetown as part of an ambitious project to improve road access and ease traffic congestion in the city.
The demolitions are taking place along roads connected to the junction, where preparation is underway for road upgrades. A number of buildings and roadside structures have already been taken down, while others have been marked for removal. Some tables and stalls placed close to the road have also been cleared from the area.
Work has already started, and clearing is ongoing around the junction. Residents and traders in the area have also begun removing their belongings from affected spots.
Dwazark Junction is a busy area with a lot of vehicles passing through, especially in the mornings and evenings. The ongoing work is expected to help create more space and improve movement along that part of the road once completed.
The area links several parts of Freetown and is often used by taxis, kekehs, and private vehicles. For many, it serves as a shortcut between the central and eastern parts of the city. This has made it one of the more active traffic points in the capital.
The current exercise is part of a wider effort to upgrade roads and improve infrastructure in key urban areas. In recent months, SLRA has carried out similar activities in other parts of Freetown, including clearing structures that were built too close to roadways.
Officials have not yet given a clear timeline for how long the work around Dwazark Junction will take. For now, demolition and clearing are expected to continue over the coming days as the road project moves forward.
