President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has inaugurated the Tema-Mpakadan Standard Gauge Railway Line marking a significant milestone in Ghana's railway modernisation efforts.
He has also inaugurated two Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) trains. The newly completed 97-kilometre standard gauge railway line connects seven stations along the Tema-Mpakadan route.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to phase out outdated narrow gauge rail systems and replace them with more efficient and modern infrastructure.
The two DMU trains, procured at a cost of $4.2 million, are designed specifically for the standard gauge railway and are expected to enhance passenger transport along the corridor.
