This is despite the demolition of structures supposed to be on waterways by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA).
Several vehicles were seen stuck on the flooded streets, while otheres tried to push their faulty vehicles away.
The AMA began the demolition after the double (fire and flood) disaster on June 3.
People’s homes in the area were flooded, triggering an explosion at the GOIL filling station which claimed over 90 lives on the spot.
President John Mahama called for drastic measures to help prevent such a disaster again.
This led to the dredging of the Odaw river and demolishing of structures on water ways.
But a rainfall on Sunday caused another flooding in the area.
