On Monday, May 13, the Kasoa stretch experienced heavy unusual traffic congestion following a downpour around 4pm the same day.

The traffic situation is believed to have been caused by silt and filth getting washed onto the road by the rain.

This led to the blockage of some roads, making it difficult for vehicles to move.

According to some social media users, the flooding of the road around SCC and Old Barrier resulted in vehicles from Kasoa to Mallam moving to the lane of those who were heading towards Kasoa from Mallam.

Drivers operating heavy-duty trucks bound for the Central and Western Regions had to park as the traffic situation lasted for over 9 hours.

Other roads in the national capital also experienced unusual gridlock as a result of the downpour.

Motorists using the Graphic Road to Odorkor equally spent hours in traffic.

The N1 highway and a part of the Tema Motorway also experienced the gridlock.
