The flyover at the Flowerpot Motorway Interchange is set to open to traffic by the end of October this year, aiming to enhance connectivity between the northern and southern sections of the Motorway.
This development is anticipated to facilitate smoother travel from areas like Cantonments and Burma Camp to East Legon, Spintex, and Tema, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for residents commuting in these regions.
Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye announced this during a recent inspection tour of the project.
He expressed satisfaction with the progress made thus far, emphasizing the importance of timely completion.
Assuring the government’s commitment, he pledged to fulfill all obligations under the contract, including payments and providing necessary support to ensure the project’s timely completion.
During the inspection, the Roads Minister also assessed road conditions in the Ledzokuku Municipality, accompanied by Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for Ledzokuku Constituency.
Notably, the ongoing reconstruction of the Beach Road had affected the road network within the municipality.
However, ongoing works, including drainage repairs and asphalt concrete overlay, were reported to be 45 percent complete and expected to conclude by the end of 2024.
Regarding the Beach Road construction from Osu to Nungua, which is 80 percent complete, Mr. Asenso-Boakye acknowledged delays due to negotiations with the International Monetary Fund but assured that work would resume soon to complete the remaining 20 percent.
He commended Dr. Okoe Boye for advocating for the community’s road needs.
Additionally, in the Krowor Municipality, the Minister inspected the rehabilitation of the Okpoi Gonno Highway, crucial for connecting Ledzokuku to Krowor, Beach Road, Spintex Road, and the Motorway.
He emphasized its significance in addressing transportation challenges in densely populated areas and reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring its successful completion.
“It forms part of Government’s agenda to deal with the transportation issues in heavily populated communities such as Krowor and Ledzokuku,” Mr Asenso-Boakye said, concerning the rehabilitation of the highway.
