Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has inaugurated the Flowerpot Interchange, a key infrastructure project aimed at enhancing connectivity between the northern and southern sections of the Accra-Tema Motorway.<\/b><\/p>\n

The interchange, constructed by China Railway Engineering Ghana, features an 802-meter dual carriageway with a modern overpass at the Spintex Road Flowerpot Roundabout.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to significantly improve traffic flow and stimulate socio-economic activities in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Flowerpot enclave faced an overwhelming traffic, often burdened with up to some 5, 000 vehicles per hour during peak hours,\u201d the President noted.<\/p>\n

He envisaged that with the completion of the project, which commenced in 2017, it would ease traffic flow across Cantonments, Burma Camp, East-Legon, and the Spintex road.<\/p>\n

Other features of the edifice include an 80-meter ramp, connecting the viaduct to the Motorway towards Tema, as well as a 140-meter ramp from Shiashie onto the viaduct towards the Airport Hills.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a new road passing through the old East-Legon tunnel has been constructed, alongside a 200-meter road linking Cantonments to the Giffard Road Interchange.<\/p>\n

The project incorporates pedestrian walkways on both sides of the flyover, cycling ways, crash barriers, streetlights, road markings, traffic signals, recreational facilities, fire station and police post.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo said the monumental project in Ghana\u2019s capital, Accra, represented the scale of ambition of his administration to expand the road network across the country.<\/p>\n

Other key road projects completed by the Government in the capital include the Pokuase Interchange, a four-tier road network unparalleled in the West African sub-Region, Borteyman road network, Tema Motorway Phase One, and East-Legon Underpass, he added.<\/p>\n

The authorities say work on the Obetsebi Lamptey and Tema Motorway Interchanges, as well as the Adentan-Dodowa road network were on course.<\/p>\n

The government says it is bent on developing the road network in the capital to an appreciable standard owing to the city\u2019s growing economic significance in the sub-Region.<\/p>\n

Accra, one of Africa\u2019s fastest-growing cities, sees an annual population growth of over two percent, according to the United Nations (UN).<\/p>\n

The UN estimates that the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area is home to over four million people, with 2.5 million daily business commuters.<\/p>\n

This figure is projected to rise to 9.6 million by 2050, highlighting the city\u2019s rapid urbanization and growing demand for infrastructure and services.<\/p>\n

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced that 14 interchange projects are currently underway across the country, emphasizing the government\u2019s commitment to completing them on schedule.<\/p>\n

These projects are part of the administration\u2019s broader infrastructure development plan aimed at improving transportation and boosting economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are building a new Ghana. A nation that works for everyone,\u201d he pledged.<\/p>\n

Expanding the road network was vital to socio-economic growth, he stated, saying his administration was bent on leaving behind a pivotal legacy in terms of road construction.<\/p>\n

Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye, Minister of Roads and Highways, cautioned the public against erecting unauthorised structures along the intersections and medians of the newly constructed Interchange.<\/p>\n
