📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The new line will run for more than 1000km from the Ghanaian port of Tema to Ho, Hohoe, Yendi, Tamale and Paga on the border with Burkina Faso. The line will then continue north through Dakola to Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou.
The project which is in line with Government’s policy to link all regional capitals to the new modern railway network, lies on the Eastern Corridor of Ghana and starts from Mpakadan where ongoing construction from the Tema Port terminates.
The railway line will go through Hohoe, Jasikan, Nkwanta, Bimbilla to Yendi and Sheni. It will then continue to Tamale, Walewale, Bolgatanga, Navrongo and then link Burkina Faso at the Paga-Dakota Border, approximately 700km from Mpakadan.
The total length of the line under construction from Tema to Mpakadan is approximately 100km. From Burkina Faso the line starts from Ouagadougou through Kombissiri, Manga, Beguedo, Garango, Tenkodogo, Bagre, Zabre, Po, and Dakola to Paga. Upon completion, rail is projected to boost trade and other economic activities. The project had already completed a count of all property likely to be affected within the right-of-way with preliminary cost estimates having been determined for land, structures and economic trees among others to be included in the feasibility studies.
