Contractors working on the second phase of the Obetsebi-Lamptey Interchange in Accra have started applying bitumen as they work around the clock to complete the project by next month in order to ensure free flow of traffic in the capital. When the Ghanaian Times visited the project site yesterday, the dust covering commuters had reduced, with workers pouring black bitumen on the asphalt overlays. Workers were also fixing street light poles on both sides of the road to and from the bridge, while those on the bridge have already been installed. Giving an update on the project, the Resident Engineer, Owusu Sekyere Antwi, said in an interview with the Ghanaian Times that the construction of the bridge had been completed with the concrete materials awaiting the asphaltic overlay, likely to be ready in two weeks' time. Mr Antwi indicated that the street lights were being worked on and the New Jersey crash barriers had also been installed on the bridge, while final works on the major drains from Agbogbloshie to Korle-Bu were almost done.
