President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been appealed with by the Ashanti Region Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Anwti Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi), to expedite the Suame Interchange project.
He said that the party will be able to garner greater support in the area during the national elections in 2024 as a result.
"All we are asking the President to do is make sure that the Suame interchange construction gets started.
At a media event on Monday, May 29, he stated, "We know he cannot fulfill all his promises, but at least he must start working on this project so that people vote for him in 2024."
President Akufo-Addo turned the first sod for the four-tier interchange at Suame in November 2022.
The Suame Interchange project consists of a four-tier interchange at the current Suame Roundabout, with overpasses at the Abrepo, Krofrom, Anomangye, Magazine New Road and Abusuakruwa junctions.
When completed, it will be the first four-tier interchange in the Ashanti Region and the second in the country, after the Pokuase Interchange in the Greater Accra Region.
