Major roads became impassable due to the floodwaters, leading to massive gridlock with many commuters stranded.
For instance, parts of the road from the Airport through Shangri-La to Shiashie have been affected, making it difficult for motorists to use the route.
Other places submerged include Tantra Hill, Adabraka Sahara, the Ofankor Pokuase stretch, the Accra-Tema motorway, and First Light, among others, causing severe gridlock.

Most shops have been closed as a result of the downpour, with some cars parked in fear of water entering the engines.
Commuters and residents are calling on the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) for swift intervention.
