Heavy evening rainfall floods Odorkor-Kwashieman road, causes traffic disruptions

This evening's heavy rain caused severe flooding on the Odorkor Junction–Kwashieman road. The entire stretch is now impassable, leading to significant traffic congestion.

Motorists faced slow-moving traffic as vehicles inched through the flooded area.

This flooding follows a devastating rainstorm over the weekend. The storm lasted nearly three hours and caused widespread inundation across Accra.

Areas like Weija, Kaneshie, Adabraka, Adenta-Dodowa, and parts of Tema were heavily affected. Reports confirm at least three lives lost in Adenta and significant property damage.

The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) issued a weather alert earlier today. They warned of thunderstorms and varying rain intensities across parts of the country.

Residents are advised to exercise caution and avoid flood-prone areas. It’s important to stay updated with weather forecasts as the rainy season continues.
