\nAkhil Gupta, Executive Director of AFCONS Infrastructure Limited assured.<\/p>\n

According to him, the project
\nwas scheduled to be completed in July 2021 but it would rather be completed in
\nSeptember 2020.<\/p>\n

\nthe project was redesigned to provide lodgings will not affect the date of
\ncompletion since AFCONS Infrastructure is committed to add value to the
\ndelivery of their works,<\/p>\n

\u201cThis railway project
\nhas been basically conceived as part of the multi-model transport infrastructure
\nfor Ghana. This means that from Tema Port, the goods apart from passengers can
\nbe carried through this railway line to Mpakadan and loaded on the Volta River
\nto the Northern part of the country,\u201d Mr. Gupta stated.<\/p>\n

He said the project is
\nabout 50 percent complete, saying the company was on track with its timelines
\nand was even doing better on its monthly targets.<\/p>\n

Speaking with DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>
\nahead
\nof today\u2019s sod cutting of a $20 million railway bridge on the Volta Lake
\nPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Executive Director said the 300
\nmeters bridge project which would be completed in September 2020 would not only
\nimprove railway transportation but it will also boost revenue for the country.<\/p>\n

He stated that the pending
\nproject would give them the needed boost to bid for other projects in the
\ncountry as a result of their high portfolio of major projects undertaken in the
\nmarine, road, port and construction sectors across the globe.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gupta said AFCONS
\nInfrastructure Limited is opened to other railway development and road
\nconstructions in the country.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director
\nhas expressed optimism of his company partnering government to address the
\ninfrastructure deficit facing the country.<\/p>\n

AFCONS Infrastructure
\nLimited, a subsidiary of Shapoorji Pallonji Group, an India\u2019s third largest
\nconstruction company and was awarded the contract on July 2, 2018.<\/p>\n

The project begins from Tema through Afienya, North Tongu District in the Volta Region, Manya Krobo and terminates at Mpakadan, a few kilometres away from Akosombo.<\/p>\n
