Akufo-Addo opens phase one of Pokuase interchange

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, commissioned phase one of the Pokuase Interchange projects.

The Pokuase interchange commission fromed part of his 2-day tour of the Greater Accra Region.

The project which commenced in April 2018, with the interchange originally proposed as a 3-tier single-point urban interchange, was later changed to a 4-tier Stack Interchange, which was approved by the Ministry for Roads and Highways.

President Akufo-Addo at the ceremony opened to traffic tier-3 of the interchange, which is the road from Awoshie to Accra, as well as the road from Kumasi to Awoshie.

The project co-ordinator at the site told the President that other tiers of the Interchange will be opened for use by the general public and motorists in the second week of December, adding that "at the end of March, we would have completed the entirety of the 4th tier."

In addition to this, President Akufo-Addo was informed that some five kilometres of storm drains have been completed “to ensure we don’t have flooding in the downstream.”
