Resident Engineer for FAS Consult Limited, Antwi Owusu Sekyere has attributed the suspension of work on the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange project in Accra to the government’s talks with the International Monetary Fund.
After completion, the project will relieve traffic congestion at the intersection of Ring Road West and Winneba/Graphic Road by upgrading traffic at Circle and building two flyovers to facilitate continuous traffic flow along Ring Road West.
Speaking to Accra-based television, Citi TV, Antwi Owusu Sekyere said that work on the project will likely restart in May.
“Once the government finishes negotiations with the IMF, we will come back, but it has been suspended. We have skeletal staff there, they do watering, and then they reshape the road anytime it goes bad.
“We are hoping to come back in May, by that time the government would have finished negotiations with all the other parties.”
