But for the coronavirus pandemic, the project was supposed to be completed last year.
“I can confirm work is progressing on the Tema – Mpakadan railway, just as the Minister for Railway Development @johnpeter_amewu said in response to my question in Parliament. Kudos to the President @NAkufoAddo for prioritising the development of railways,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh said in a tweet.
Mr Amewu had told the House in answering a question posed by Mr Annoh-Dompreh that the rail construction work was progressing.
The Tema-Mpakadan rail line is part of the 1,000km Ghana-Burkina Faso Railway Interconnectivity Project which will link Ghana from Tema to Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou.
The two countries had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in January 2017 in Ouagadougou to kick-start the project.
According to the plan, some 800km of the railway line will be in Ghana’s territory while the remaining 200km will be on Burkinabe soil.
