Designs for new interchange at Nkrumah Circle ready

Mr Godwin Brocke, Acting Director of the Department of Urban roads, has announced Designs and documentation for a new interchange at the Kwame Nkrumah circle is ready and awaiting funding.

He said the project will provide three additional lanes from Nkrumah Circle to Adenta. "Resolving the problem is not only to construct the interchange, but to rationalise the land around the area," Mr Brocke said at a workshop in Accra on road safety organised by the National Road Safety Commission.

The commission is in the process of formulating road safety strategies to reduce the high rate of road accidents in the country. He said some of the lorry parks will be relocated to ease vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Mr Brocke said now that funding for the project is certain, the department is acquiring the right of way and is designating unauthorised structures for demolition ahead of commencement of work.
