Nkrumah Interchange nears completion

Work on the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange which involves detailed engineering and construction of the old Circle into a three-tier interchange and other ancillary works including drainage, terminals, pedestrian walkways and landscaping is progressing steadily and according to schedule. The structure, currently about 90% complete will ease vehicular movement in the capital when completed.

The new face of the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange started by the Mahama led administration ,is a three tier interchange being constructed to replace the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in the centre of the city of Accra.The construction of the interchange became necessary when the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, which handles over 84,000 vehicles from the arterial roads and their intersections daily. The current roads could no longer ensure effective and efficient tackling of the traffic congestion challenges.

The project, when completed in September will effectively and efficiently tackle the traffic congestion challenges currently being experienced, and ensure improved drainage and pedestrian safety among others.
