The Pokuase Interchange is a four level stack interchange situated at Pokuase Junction, in Accra, Ghana. It is the largest interchange in West Africa upon its completion. The interchange was originally a three-tier but was modified on the advice of the constructor by the Akufo-Addo administration to a four-tier thereby making it the largest in West Africa. Construction began in 2018 and was commissioned for use on 9 July 2021 by president Nana Akuffo Addo.[1][2] It lies on the Nsawam Road and connects the Nsawam Road to the George Walker Bush Highway.[3][4]
Financing[]
The interchange's cost is estimated at 94.8 million dollars and funded by the African Development Bank and the Government of Ghana.[3][5]
