Spintex Road is a major road and commercial corridor in Accra, the capital of Ghana. The road stretches from the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange in the west to the Tema Motorway Roundabout in the east, running parallel to the Tema Motorway. It passes through residential and industrial areas such as Baatsona, Lashibi, and Manet.
Spintex Road serves as a commercial and residential corridor connecting Accra’s city center with the industrial zones near Tema. The name "Spintex" originates from the textile company Spintex Limited, which established operations along the route in the 1980s. Over time, the name came to represent the entire stretch of road and surrounding communities.
The road has evolved into one of Accra’s main business corridors, hosting offices, shopping malls, banks, restaurants, and manufacturing facilities. It is also home to several gated communities and residential estates catering to middle- and upper-income residents.
