US$39m for Obetsebi-Lamptey flyover

Ghana’s parliament has approved US$39.2million for work to begin on the Obetsebi-Lamptey interchange, Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a Deputy Minister of Communication, has said.

According to him, the completion of the Circle flyover has paved the way for work on the Obetsebi-Lamptey interchange to be commenced. The project also includes a flyover at Kaneshie.

Mr Kwakye Ofosu announced on his Facebook page on Friday, 18 November: “Following the completion and opening of the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, work will soon start on the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange.

“Parliament has approved US$39.2 million for it. The project consists of the construction of a three-tier interchange at the current Obetsebi-Lamptey Circle and a Graphic Road flyover to grade separate traffic on the Kaneshie-Mallam road towards the Graphic Road. It also involves the construction of the Kaneshie flyover to grade separate the left turn traffic from Kaneshie towards the Kwame Nkrumah Circle.

“Under the project, the Ring Road West from Ring Road flyover to the Obetsebi-Lamptey Circle would be widened into a three-lane dual carriageway with provision for BRT facilities. It also includes the widening of the Nii Teiko Din street from the Pramprom junction to the Awudome road into a two-lane dual carriageway.”
