The interchange was originally a three-tier as proposed by the John Dramani Mahama in 2016 [1] but was modified on the advice of the constructor by the Akufo-Addo administration to a four-tier thereby making it the largest in West Africa.

[4] On 28th September 2016, the government of Ghana under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama signed a loan agreement with the African Development Bank to construct a three-tier interchange at Pokuase ACP Junction.

[5] The interchange's cost is estimated at 94.8 million dollars and funded by the African Development Bank and the Government of Ghana.

[4][6] Although the funding was secured by the John Dramani Mahama government for a three-tier interchange, the project did not commence.

During the commissioning of the project the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, stated it was due to his hard work and effort that made it possible for the interchange to be constructed.
