Parts of the capital, Accra got flooded making it difficult for motorists to access some principal streets after over 12 hours of downpour from Saturday to Sunday.
The situation resulted in heavy gridlock in most parts of the capital Saturday evening leaving commuters stranded at lorry parks and bus stops.
Some of the areas badly hit are Kaneshie, Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Madina, Awoshie and Santa Maria.
The police issued a flood alert warning drivers to avoid the “Graphic Road towards Kaneshie and Agbogbloshie due to the rising level of the Odaw River.”
“In addition to the above, motorists and commuters should exercise great caution when using the La Beach – Kpeshie Lagoon Road towards Teshie-Nungua as well as roads that are linked by culverts and bridges,” the statement added.
