The project is financed by a loan facility from the Brazillian government and construction is being done by a Brazilian company Queiroz Galvao.

President John Mahama will today, Tuesday, November 29, 2016, commission the first phase of a $160-million

The interchange is expected to reduce considerable traffic on the Accra-Cape Coast road. Residents living beyond the toll booth at Tuba and into Kasoa have had to endure stressful travels on the road.
