The project was opened to traffic on July 9, 2021 by President Nana AAkufo-Addo.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Adesina observed that the project, originally planned to be a three-tier interchange was developed into a four-tier interchange, making it the first in West Africa and the second in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed contentment at the submission of a Ghana Private Road Transport Union representative at the inspection that the interchange had reduced travel time from two hours to about 30 minutes, saying that would increase productivity and grow the economy.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Bank was also joyful to learn that the interchange had reduced accidents by 40 per cent on the stretch. The Pokuase Interchange was jointly funded by the AfDB with 84 million dollars and the Government of Ghana with about 11 million dollars to promote sustainable economic growth, convenience and safe transportation. The project, which is a part of the Accra Urban Transport projects, was done by Messrs China Zhongmei Engineering Company Limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
