The Director-General of the National Roads Authority (NRA), James Amoo-Gottfried, says the increase in the cost of constructing the well-known Flower Pot Interchange along the Spintex Road in the Greater Accra Region is due to an expanded scope of work.
According to him, the original work plan has changed, leading to the rise in costs. "The initial scope was entirely different.
It was to involve two overpasses: one over the Flower Pot roundabout and another across the motorway (Accra-Tema Motorway), totalling about 120 metres of bridge length.
What we have now is about 1,022 metres of bridge length," he explained.
