President John Mahama has officially inaugurated the completed Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange to open access to traffic from all directions.
The event attracted hundreds of people who wanted to catch a glimpse of the widely publicized project, one of the flagship intiatives by the President and his government in the road sector.
A statue of Ghana's First President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, has been placed at the heart of the Circle interchange to reflect the interchange which also comes with additional facilities including a Police Post and a Clinic.
The Neoplan and Tema Stations have also been reconstructed.
One specific aspect of the project which has been the side of attraction in the nights is the "dancing fountain" which has become the cynosure of all eyes.
Some have described it as a mini-Dubai.
The Police MTTU and other law enforcement officers within the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) have been deployed to help motorists who plying the route for the first time and other new diversions to adjoining routes.
The 74.88 million Euro project was jointly financed with credit from the Brazilian Government and the Ghana Government.

Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange
Other projects besides the iconic Kwame Nkrumah interchange which are also scheduled for inauguration later this month are the James-Town-Bukom ultramodern boxing arena and the new liquid waste treatment plant, to make way for the eternal closure of lavender hill which ahs been in existence for the past 60 years.
President John Mahama is also expected to inaugurate the Kasoa interchange to traffic before the elections and later break grounds for the one billion dollar expansion works on the Tema Harbour and Motorway to commence.
He would also dedicate the new Sekondi-Takoradi-Kojokrom railway line.

Have u seen the lunatism in you as a human being, all that NPP;s are saying is road construction is not new to any govert cos the previous ones did same, so why are u insulting like u dont f=drink soup when u eat. Were u or any of ur family employed after the commisioning to come and work as the interchange manager? phooolishness in u at its best
The interchange is nice but not like the pictures being shown here. this are the 419 things i dont like about NDC.Its nice but the 419 is too much. i passed there yesterday just before the comm you issioning and plenty Nima boys ,girls, ladies etc.the point is its Ghana money and the praises on the radio is simply too much. this very common in lot of serious countries. has he been able to erase Wayoome money,what about the exchange rates. is this project going to stop companies from laying workers off coming 2017, are taxes going to reduce. Please im not say Mahama has not done well withe circle interchange.butyou must understand that the harm his party team has caused the country is more than this interchange and others. say a spade ,a spade.with this type of interchange every sitting president atleast was able to build something NDC. its nice but stop troying dust into our eyes
COCOA WAS USED AS LOAN FOR THIS PROJECT, WHAT HAS MAHAMA DONE ABOUT COCOA ROADS? HAS HE ASPHALTED EVEN A SINGLE COCOA ROAD? WITH THE KIND OF LOANS MAHAMA HAS TAKEN ALL THE ROADS IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE FIRST CLASS BY NOW. MAHAMA IS BEHAVING LIKE A HARD CORE SWINDLA. THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL CON! THE LORD IS WATCHING
2013 Mahama: what can I do to win 2016 election with all this dumsor and no jobs for the youth? Asiadu Nketia- Just build an interchange in the heart of ACCRA and commision it on the eve of elections, Ghanian will for get their problems and vote massively for you. Mahama- Ok, good idea but the interchange will take too long to complete. Asiadu Nketia- Oh, dont worry we can use metal instead of concrete to construct it. In that way we can finish before the elections. Mahama- Wow, briliant Idea.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO. THE CRIMINAL ASPECT IS MORE SPECTACULAR. WHY STEEL? IN THE ABUNDANCE OF CLINKER THE ***barred word*** USES STEEL! IF YOU FOLLOW IMF, WORLD BANK, THE EUROPEAN TIVES WHO CALL THEMSELVES ADVISERS YOU WILL CONTINUE TO EMBARRASS YOURSELF. IT IS SAD THAT THE BLACKMAN DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS PROJECT SHOULD NOT COST MORE THAN $50 MILLION. WE MUST BE SMART. EVERY SINGLE PROJECT MAHAMA EMBARKS ON, HE HAS HIS SHARE LARGER THAN THE PROJECT ITSELF. MR ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT DON'T DO KULULU WITH THE WHITE BOYZ. WHEN YOU LEAVE OFFICE THEY WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ACCESSING ALL THE MONIES YOU HAVE STOLLLEN
look at this azaa photoshop interchange, all those screaming wow for such mediocre interchange are all ndc youth ediot been use as propaganda tool for the create, luuut and share brigade. Such road construction does not bring employment and high cost of living down neither is it going to bring back all our luuuted resources, the fact remains that John Mahama is going home peacefully no amount of trick and gimmick would save him and his cr1minal gangs
Ghanaians have short memories indeed. After taking Ghanaians through difficulties, hardship, corruption, Dumsor, SADA, GYEEDA, ISOFOTON, Woyome, the nationwide National Service Fraud, AMERI deal and a host of others. I will vote against JM no matter what. Alban Bagbin said, JM's presidency is for family and friends. JM Twaso wai
