The Flower Pot interchange is scheduled to be commissioned today , Tuesday, November 19, by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The flyover will alleviate traffic congestion between the north and south of the Tema Motorway once it opens.
The commissioning is anticipated to improve the general quality of life for people living in Cantonments, Burma Camp, and East Legon, as well as Spintex and Tema, by making it easier for them to travel between these areas.
The project includes a 140-meter ramp from Shiashie onto the viaduct towards Airport Hills, an 80-meter ramp from the viaduct onto the Motorway towards Tema, and an 802-meter dual carriageway for the viaduct with asphaltic concrete surfacing.
The interchange also features pedestrian walkways on both sides of the flyover, a new road through the old tunnel at East Legon, an additional 200 meters of road connecting Cantonments from the Giffard Road interchange, and road furniture like traffic signals, road markings, and streetlights.
The project was awarded to China Railway No. 5 Engineering Gh. Ltd. on March 7, 2017, with consulting services provided by Deoke Consult Ltd.
