A heavy overnight downpour on August 5–6, 2025, brought traffic to a standstill on the Nsawam-Pokuase Road, as floodwaters submerged large portions of the highway.
Commuters were left stranded in stalled vehicles, while some cars broke down entirely in the rising water.
Eyewitnesses reported widespread frustration and safety concerns, describing the road as a “disaster zone” every time it rains.
