The MPS Project Team, Project Management Consultants and<br \/>\nContractors worked around the clock day and night on the upgrading and<br \/>\nimprovement of the Tema Community 3 Beach Road Junction. <\/p>\n<p>The project started in January 2019 with<br \/>\nsod cutting ceremony under the care of the Honorable Ministers of Ministry of<br \/>\nTransport and Ministry of Roads &amp; Highways.On 28<sup>th<\/sup> June, 2019,the<br \/>\nupgraded junction was partially opened to motorists and meeting the deadline<br \/>\nfor the commencement of operations at MPS Tema Port Terminal 3.<strong\/><\/p>\n<p>Owing to the critical location of the project, MPS worked assiduously<br \/>\nwith its key stakeholders including the Ministry of Roads and Highways\u2019<br \/>\nDepartment of Urban Roads to ensure safety of<br \/>\npedestrians (through the use of appropriate road signage)<br \/>\nusing a regularly monitored Traffic Management Plan.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Executive<br \/>\nofficer of MPS, Mr Mohamed Samara explained that the connectivity to roads and<br \/>\nrailways is significant toPorts.<em>\u201cOur<br \/>\nstatement(We connect, You thrive) is the driving force behind the Tema Port<br \/>\nexpansion project. While the new port facility provides an efficient<br \/>\nconnectivity for Ghana\u2019seconomy to the global market through the port waterfront,<br \/>\nit is important that we plug the Port to the hinter lands. This can be achieved<br \/>\nwith an effective transport system including accessible roads and a vibrant<br \/>\nrail system.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>MPS has chosen through our shareholders to make the first step of<br \/>\naction on the former. It is worthy to note that, the upgraded Tema Beach Road<br \/>\njunction has a robust design made to withstand the heavy movement of trucks in<br \/>\nand out of the new port. Again, the latest technology was employed in the concrete<br \/>\npavement finishing to increase adherence and prevent vehicles from slipping off<br \/>\nthe surface of the roads when it rains.<em\/><\/p>\n<p>Accra and Tema<br \/>\nare connected by 2 roads only; The Accra-Tema Motorway and the Beach Road.Both<br \/>\ncorridors carryall the traffic from the Tema to Accra as well as the majority<br \/>\nof commuters between Greater Accra and the surrounding regions of the country<br \/>\nand beyond.<\/p>\n<p>With its completion,<br \/>\nthe junction willmodernizethe road leading to the new Tema Port, significantly reduce travel time and cut down on<br \/>\naccidents resulting from hasty movement by vehicles caught up in the hitherto persistent<br \/>\ngridlock.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO<br \/>\nconcluded that the expectations are very high and the knock-on effects of Terminal<br \/>\n3 on Ghana\u2019s trade and industry need to be supported with more road &amp; rail<br \/>\ncapacities soon and the anticipation is that the concession for building 8-Lane<br \/>\nExpressway through the Tema Hospital Road will be finalized soon so as to add<br \/>\nmore road network capacity in the Tema Metropolis. <\/p>\n<p><strong>BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The project which costs <strong>9 million USDollars (<\/strong><strong><em>about 50<br \/>\nmillion Ghana Cedis)<\/em><\/strong>is solely financed by the Meridian Port<br \/>\nServices Ltd as part of its <strong><em>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It involved the construction of a<br \/>\nnew roundabout and four slip roads within each quadrant of the roundabout as<br \/>\nwell as upgrades of access roads coming from the north, east and west. This<br \/>\nroad improvement will ease congestion and improve the daily life of commuters<br \/>\nbetween Tema and Accra.<\/p>\n<p>The improvement works at the Community 3 Beach road Junction also<br \/>\nrepresents the corner cast of the Government of Ghana\u2019s Tema Arterial Road<br \/>\nProject and is in line with its vision of improving the road network in the<br \/>\nTema Metropolis due to the important role the Port of Tema in the economic<br \/>\nfortunes of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time MPS has undertaken a project of this nature as<br \/>\nin 2017, it expanded the existing Tema Motorway Roundabout to alleviate<br \/>\ntransport difficulties on the Trans-West African Highway which linked Accra to<br \/>\nother parts of Ghana and Lom\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMPS will continue to engage in projects that improve the socio-economic well-being of Tema and Ghana at large.\u201d Mr. Samara said.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/07\/Accra-Tema-Motorway-Roundabout-After-2017-1024x648.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238886\"  \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/07\/COMMUNITY-3-BEACH-ROAD-JUNCTION-AFTER-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238887\"  \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/07\/Accra-Tema-Motorway-Roundabout-before-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238888\"  \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past 6 months, the Tema-Accra inter-city commuters witnessed the unfolding of the 2ndmagnificent corporate social initiatives taken by the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Meridian Port Services.
