North Ridge is a neighbourhood in the city of Accra, Ghana, bounded to the south by Castle Road. Kanda Highway serves as the district's western boundary, while Independence Avenue/Liberation Avenue is the eastern boundary. The Ring Road separates North Ridge from the northern district of Kanda. The headquarters of the Bureau of National Investigations is located in North Ridge. Originally planned as a neighbourhood for civil servants and businessmen in the colonial era, North Ridge remains one of the better residential neighbourhoods in Accra.[1]
