Flower Pot Interchange
President Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to commission the newly built Flower Pot Interchange on November 19, 2024.
This was revealed by the Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin.
The flyover over the Motorway Interchange Project was designed to complement the newly completed underpass and to serve as an alternative for North-South movement.
The project has been amended several times and now consists of an 800m span flyover that starts at the Palace Mall off the Spintex Road and ends on Boundary Road in East Legon.
Additional features include ramps onto the motorway and improvements at the Flower Pot roundabout approaches at Spintex, as well as access through the old tunnel to East Legon.
Earlier this year, the Minister of Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye, had indicated that the flyover on the Motorway Interchange at Flower Pot will be opened to traffic by the end of October this year.
Mr. Asenso-Boakye disclosed this during an inspection tour of the project.
Accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Roads and Highways and others from Urban Roads, Mr. Asenso-Boakye went round to see the progress of the project.
“So far, I am very impressed about the schedule of work. Since I assumed office, I have had the opportunity to meet with the contractors and urged them that it is important that they complete as soon as possible,” he said.
He assured of the government’s readiness to fulfil its part of the contract, including payments as well as every other thing the contractors would need to complete the work on schedule.
