The interchange currently under construction was initially planned to be opened to vehicular traffic in December, however, it is now scheduled for November to control traffic congestion in the area.
This is also to enable the con- tractors working on the “Project for the Improvement of the Tema Motorway Roundabout Phase II” to work on sections of the road currently being used by motorists.
