Heavy rainfall early on Wednesday morning, July 3, triggered widespread flooding across many parts of Accra, causing significant disruptions for road users and businesses alike.
The intense downpour, beginning around 3 am in certain areas, resulted in major roads becoming impassable and extensive traffic jams, leaving commuters stranded.
Areas severely affected include the Airport-Shangri-La-Shiashie route, Tantra Hill, Adabraka Sahara, the Ofankor Pokuase stretch, the Accra-Tema motorway, and First Light, exacerbating the already severe gridlock.
In response to the flooding, numerous shops closed their doors, and car owners took precautions by parking to prevent water from entering their engines.
Residents and commuters are calling for urgent assistance from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to address the aftermath of the flooding.
