President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to commission the Flower Pot interchange today, Tuesday, November 19.

Once opened, the flyover will improve traffic congestion between the north and south of the Tema Motorway.

The commissioning is expected to help facilitate movement from areas including Cantonments and Burma Camp to East Legon, Spintex, and Tema, enhancing the overall quality of life for residents in these areas.

The project features an 802-meter dual carriageway for the viaduct with asphaltic concrete surfacing, a 140-meter ramp constructed from Shiashie onto the viaduct towards Airport Hills, and an 80-meter ramp from the viaduct onto the Motorway towards Tema.

Additionally, the interchange includes a new road through the old tunnel at East Legon, an extra 200 meters of road connecting Cantonments from the Giffard Road interchange, a redesign of the Flower Pot roundabout and its approaches, pedestrian walkways on each side of the flyover, and road furniture such as streetlights, road markings, and traffic signals.

Commencing on March 7, 2017, the project was contracted to China Railway No. 5 Engineering Gh. Ltd, with Deoke Consult Ltd serving as the consultant.

The contract duration was 93 months and was funded by Afrexim Bank and the Government of Ghana.
