Works on Kumasi Sofoline Interchange has been abandoned for weeds as well as a defecation site for hardened criminals.
The Interchange was started by the former president, John Agyekum Kufuor in 2008 to ease vehicular traffic on the Abuakwah Kwadaso highway. Although it stalled under the reign of the erstwhile president, the late John Evans Atta Mills, yet it purpose to ease commerce has been capable.
Soiree News visited the place on Monday and found beneath the interchange in ruins. According to some workers for the Zoomlion Ghana Limited who were met by the New Crew, traders and people around the area have used the place as a defecation site during dawn. The reason was cited as result of forsaking the place for weeds to take over.
“We are pleading to the government to take needed action to ensure the completion of this project. L learnt it will be used for a gardens but it is getting out of hand. People dump waste and have turned this place as a junkyard,” a Zoomlion worker said.
“You can go deep in the bush and see for yourself how the place has been turned to excretion grounds. We are here to tidy it up but some of these issues are way beyond us. The fact that we are tidying up the place does not mean we should do what goes beyond our health. If the government does solve this challenge quickly, people will tear this place down,” another said.
The thick bushes under the Interchange were left unattended and harbored weed smokers and smugglers. Containers and stores were captured by the Soiree camera whiles broken down cars were seen on the grounds relating to a fitting shop. The gutters that were supposed to help easier passage of water whenever there is flood was choked with growing weeds.
The Construction Company’s equipments were spotted at the site left unattended for months. The crew also met a few workers who avoided the cameras and promised to talk when permitted by the their unavailable leaders. They discussed with the crew on matters concerning the delay of the site which is as a result of finance yet they gave assurance that they hope their leaders resolve the issues soon to finalize the completion of the project.
