Ghana to construct 340km rail line,same cost as 156km Lagos-Ibadan rail by References: 3:55pm On May 31, 2019 |
The Ghanaian- European Railway Consortium (GERC) has agreed to construct a 340km standard gauge railway line in Ghana at $2.2 billion, the same contract price as the 156km railway line between Lagos and Ibadan. In 2016, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), had signed a $2 billion agreement with the Nigerian government to build a 156 km railway line between Lagos and Ibadan. A ground-breaking ceremony for the construction held in March 2017. The Eastern Railway line, which links Accra, Tema and Kumasi, is expected to boost economic activities along the corridor, especially at the Boankra Inland Port after completion. Joe Ghartey, Ghana’s minister of railway development, said the project is based on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) agreement. GERC is expected to operate 24 passenger trains and six freight trains after completion of the 340-kilometre railway project. The construction is expected to last for three years. The consortium has pledged to commence works in earnest. There would be 6 main stations and 34 sub-stations along the double track corridor. The concession period is 27 years and the consortium hopes to recoup its investment within the period. Ghartey recently visited Nigeria on the invitation of Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s minister of transportation, inspect and assess the railway construction projects that the Chinese conglomerate has completed and that are currently being undertaken in Nigeria. https://www.thecable.ng/gerc-340km-railway-line-ghana-2bn-156km-lagos-ibadan-rail-line Lalasticlala mynd44 Seun |
