Tema-Mpakadan railway line ready for inauguration

After years of anticipation, Ghana’s 97.6 km Tema-Mpakadan railway line will be inaugurated on November 21, 2024.

This milestone, part of the Ghana-Burkina Faso Interconnectivity Project, aims to enhance trade, economic growth, and connectivity between southern and northern Ghana.

The railway, which began in 2018, includes six passenger stations and a 300-meter bridge over the Volta River.

It will also feature a dedicated terminal near Tema’s port for efficient cargo movement.

Funded by the Export-Import Bank of India, the project is expected to boost Ghana’s GDP by 2-3% and foster economic growth through improved transportation of goods like fuel, cement, and agricultural products.
