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.

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.

Ghanaians are interested about the cost of the project and not pictures? How Much was spent for such project as it will be paid by my children.
WELLDONE MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE THE MAN. COME DEC 7TH MYSELF AND FAMILY WILL VOTE FOR YOU. SO THAT WE CAN SEE MORE OF THIS.
It's very very nice but I won't vote for JM
Apuu. Ghanaians are experience in politics now.We will not be bought by these over bloated projects. Someone should tell Mr President to show hes incuruptible by retrieving GYEEDA,SADA,and the WAYOME monies. Then we Ghanaians
Our people are very ***barred word***. The president is ***barred word*** and those around him are ***barred word*** An interchange in a city in this age of advanced civilization should not receive any fanfare. We are very backward and downright dum**b as a people. Ghana needs a serious leader with great vision for paradigm shift anchored on high agenda of moving the country towards revolutionized industrialization The economy which impacts everyone in Ghana has been run aground and that's what people should be focusing on.
It is only in africa that we give glory govt`s when they build interchange it shows that most of the citizens do not know the duties of govt and the govt used that to woe for votes during election period which is very sad,no person will just gaze at this interchange and all utility bills will b paid neither is it going to serve the people food,is there to facilitate smooth transportation of vehicles,I ve been to countries like pakistan,india,bangladesh,vietnam and uae and u will see great road network with great interchange that surpass this ghana one.I saw one in pakistan;I stood for minutes to see how the people of pakistan could construct such an interchange but majority of it people are suffering,is just a misplaced priority and I pity the youth of ghana today when I heard comments on a road such as this.
Aww! Isn't Ghana Beautiful. Goose Pimples! Very well Done Mr. President.
