Tension is mounting along the busy Spintex Road corridor after Linda Ocloo ordered an immediate halt to a construction project beneath the Spintex overpass, sparking public debate and raising serious safety and regulatory concerns.
The decision comes amid questions over structural safety, land use approval, and public interest, with many commuters and residents expressing shock that construction was even allowed under such a critical piece of infrastructure. Eyewitnesses describe a dramatic scene as work was stopped, bringing activity at the site to a sudden standstill.
The move has been praised by some as bold and decisive, while critics question how the project progressed so far without intervention. Urban planning experts warn that unauthorized developments near major transport infrastructure could pose grave risks to public safety.
As investigations continue, all eyes are now on city authorities to clarify the circumstances surrounding the project and outline next steps to prevent future incidents, while the Spintex overpass episode fuels wider conversations about urban regulation and enforcement.
