Construction of a concrete-lined channel (3.4 kilometres long, 23 metres wide and 5 metres deep), including the construction of a new railway bridge and three pedestrian bridges.

BAM International initiated the construction of an additional channel of 250 metres up to the Achimota school road bridge.

For budgetting reasons, the project was split up into three separate lots. BAM International, together with the Ghanaian and Dutch governments, structured the financing of lot three.

‘To alleviate flooding, the profile of the channel had to be reconstructed into a rectangular/trapezoidal shape, so it could carry a 1:25 years flood.’
