Work on the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange which involves detailed engineering and construction of the old Circle into a three-tier interchange and other ancillary works including drainage, terminals, pedestrian walkways and landscaping is progressing steadily and according to schedule.
Circle is named after the first President of the Republic of Ghana. It is a central point in Accra and life never stops here. It has a lovely fountain at the center which is switched on during special occasions.

The name was reversed to Nkrumah Circle by the Acheampong Regime.
