President John Mahama has said his track record on road development is unprecedented in the history of Ghana.<\/p>\n

The President made the assertion at the inauguration of the 40-metre Airport Hill overpass in Accra.<\/p>\n

The over pass which falls within the Ledzokuku and Dadekotopon constituencies was started in 2014.<\/p>\n

\"????????????\"<\/p>\n

Following the overpass motorists moving on the Giffard Road to Spintex \u00a0or Teshie will no longer need to go through the Tetteh-Quarshie Interchange.<\/p>\n

They will instead turn around the former Home Touch restaurant on the Giffard Road and proceed to their destination.<\/p>\n

It will also connect the traffic-prone Spintex Road to Teshie through Burma Camp and Labadi.<\/p>\n

At the inauguration President Mahama charged the Minister of Transport to personally supervise all major road projects ongoing to ensure that constructors and consultants work to standard and specifications.<\/p>\n

He further told the Ministry to ensure value for money and also make sure the project was\u00a0completed on time.<\/p>\n

The President also cut the sod for work to begin on the construction of two new flyovers.<\/p>\n

One of the flyover will be over the flower pot roundabout and one, over the Accra-Tema Motorway into East Legon.<\/p>\n

The President also announced that plans are advanced to construct two flyovers to link the Teshie-Manet section over the motorway to Adjriganno.<\/p>\n

The next flyover will be across the motorway at Klagon to Ashaiman.<\/p>\n

The president said these projects will be at an estimated cost of 60 million Ghana cedis and will be completed in 24 months.<\/p>\n
