Rehabilitation work on the narrow gauge line from Kojokrom-Tarkwa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rehabilitation of 56 kilometres, of
\nthe existing\u00a0narrow gauge line from Kojokrom to Tarkwa through Nsuta would
\nsoon be completed to\u00a0resume passenger rail services from Tarkwa to Takoradi
\nfor the first time since 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Minister of Railway Development,
\nJoe Ghartey who disclosed this, indicated that rehabilitation works were being
\nundertaken by Ghana Railway Company Limited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He indicated that, detailed design of
\ninfrastructure including bridges and culverts had been completed between\u00a0Takoradi\u00a0and\u00a0Manso, near Kojokrom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr. Ghartey announced this at a
\npublic lecture organized by the Sekondi \u2013 Takoradi Chamber of Commerce and
\nIndustry, in collaboration with Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, on \u201cRailways
\nrevitalization\u00a0 and sustainable development: approach and
\nopportunities\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He noted, \u201cGeotechnical and
\ngeological surveys between\u00a0Takoradi\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Tarkwa\u00a0have
\nalso been\u00a0completed\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr. Ghartey pointed out
\nthat\u00a0negotiations had been concluded with Messrs China Railway,\u00a0Wuju\u00a0Corporation for\u00a0the continuation of the new standard
\ngauge line to Dunkwa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also indicated that allocation had
\nbeen made in the 2019 Budget to extend the rehabilitation\u00a0works from
\nNsawam to Koforidua on the Eastern rail line\u00a0and that the total Project
\nCost was estimated at GH\u00a2134,632,915.00\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Minister however, mentioned that
\nencroachment on the eastern line by squatters and petty traders as well as land
\nacquisition and compensation were some of the challenges the sector needed to
\nsurmount.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joe Ghartey\u00a0revealed that his
\nministry had also finished rehabilitating the Railway Training School located
\nat Essikado in the Western Region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the Akufo-Addo
\ngovernment had worked tirelessly to transform the defunct Railway Training
\nSchool into a world-class technical training institute as part of efforts to
\nrevamp the railway sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to him, the training school
\nwas revived\u00a0in collaboration with the University of Mines and Technology
\n(UMaT) at Tarkwa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He stressed that the hitherto active
\ntraining institute currently had enough facilities for the running of tertiary
\ncourses to train technical personnel for industry, academia and
\nentrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
