Commuters who use the Kwame Nkrumah Circle-Kaneshie route in Accra are grappling with extreme traffic congestion as work on the second phase of the Obetsebi-Lamptey Interchange project intensifies.
For over one week, multiple roadblocks have been mounted to divert the route, thereby narrowing the road and limiting the number of vehicles that can pass at a time.
The Circle-Kaneshie route is crucial for many commuters in the capital, as both areas host large transport hubs where residents catch vehicles to and from work daily.
The traffic jam, which builds up even before 8 am and again around 3 pm, becomes so severe that it causes a standstill on the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, which was originally built to ease traffic.
