New Dansoman drainage to measure 2 metres high and 5 metres wide – Engineer Tsegah
The new underground drainage system being constructed at Dansoman Junction, popularly known as Hansonic, will measure two metres in height and five metres in width, according to the Maintenance Engineer for the Ablekuma North Municipality, Kwaku Tsegah.
A new underground drainage system is being built at Dansoman Junction, known colloquially as Hansonic, according to Kwaku Tsegah, the Maintenance Engineer for the Ablekuma North Municipality. The engineer revealed that the new drain will stand at a height of two meters and span five meters in width. The structure will be constructed below ground, with a roadway above it.
Tsegah stated that the new drainage system will be much larger than the existing one, which he claimed was no longer sufficient to manage the water volume in the area as it had outlived its purpose.
The project is being carried out by the Department of Urban Roads to tackle the recurring flooding and drainage issues at the bustling Dansoman Junction. The initial phase of the project aims to block and divert water into the old drainage system, which will allow engineers to construct the new underground drain safely. Tsegah explained that this will enhance stormwater flow and offer a permanent solution to the flooding problem that has plagued the area for several years.
Once construction is finished, the new drainage system is expected to improve access and road conditions in the bustling junction.
