President Akufo-Addo is expected to commission the Tema Motorway Grade Separated Interchange later today June 5, 2020.
The Ministry of Roads and Highways and the Ghana Highway Authority on Saturday, May 16, 2020, opened the newly constructed Tema Motorway Grade Separated Interchange to traffic.

There have also been controversies about which government should take credit for the interchange.
The opposition NDC believes the interchange is the idea of the Mahama administration of which funds were secured for the project but the NPP just inherited the construction stage.
They are calling on President Akufo-Addo to credit Mahama for the project.
