President Mahama opens Circle Interchange to traffic
President John Dramani Mahama has opened the
ultra-modern Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange to
traffic after a short ceremony Monday, November
14, 2016.

The flyover which is the longest and highest in
West Africa, the President said will relieve over
200, 000 motorists who ply the Circle stretch
daily.

“This is the longest flyover and the highest in
West Africa…please note I said flyover, the
longest bridge is in Lagos, Nigeria but the
longest and highest flyover is in Accra, Ghana,”
Mr Mahama said.

Speaking during the inauguration of the three-tier
interchange project, Mr Mahama said: “With the
opening of this interchange, we believe that
several thousand more jobs will be created as a
result of the trade and economic activity that
this project will facilitate.

Construction of the three-tier interchange at the
Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra started in October,
2013.

The 74.88 million euro project was jointly
financed with credit from the Brazilian Government
and the Ghana Government.
