The R40 Regional Highway is a highway that begins at Adenta in the Greater Accra Region and runs through Dodowa and Somanya to Kpong in the Eastern Region. ^[1] It is also known as the Accra - Dodowa Road.

Route

The highway spans two regions: Greater Accra and the Eastern Region. It is also known as the Adenta Trom Road. ^[2]

Greater Accra Region

The R40 begins in Adenta, branching off the N4 as the Accra-Dodowa Road. This section is known as the Adenta-Trom section. ^[3] It heads through Frafraha and Ashieke to Amrahia, where a toll booth is located. ^[4] It then continues through Oyibi and Bawaleshi to Dodowa, where the R13 (Afienya-Dodowa Road section) branches off from the R40 to the east.

Both regions

After Dodowa, it courses through the Eastern Region to Ayikuma, just over the border, then back into Greater Accra. It then goes to Amanfro before leaving the region once more.

Eastern Region

The road continues through Agomeda, Ogome, Somanya and Odumase Krobo to Kpong where it ends by meeting the N2.
