According to him, the road will be closed from Tuesday April 4 to Saturday April 8.

Mr Amadu said: “Tomorrow we are doing a diversion of the road to enable us complete the project and latest by Saturday we should finish with the work to allow the vehicles to use the main road.”

He added that “parts of the Obom road” joining the main interchange will also be closed to users.

He, however, appealed to hawkers who have taken over the streets to move to enable the work to be undertaken smoothly.

“Because we don’t have any political authority at the assembly as at now, the traders have moved back onto the streets. Just last week some of the traders were knocked down by vehicles and that was an eyesore,” he revealed.

“The construction project is meant to reduce the traveling time on the road. If you spent three hours to journey to Kasoa, now within 30 minutes you will be able to drive through Kasoa and so we are appealing to the traders to move back for us.”
