Interbeton tames the Odaw
For virtually the entire year, the Odaw is no more than an insignificant trickle flowing through Accra. During the rainy season, however, residents of the Ghanaian capital suffer terribly as the rising water floods parts of the city. Interbeton, the international operating company of BAM, has been brought in to dam the floods.
At a cost of almost sixteen million euros, our operating company is canalising the Odaw over a length of three kilometres. At the same time, a railway bridge is being replaced and two pedestrian bridges will be built over the new canal. The project forms part of a more extensive plan, backed by the World Bank. Canalisation of another three kilometres of river is underway by other parties.
