Accra Sky Train PPP project

project signed

The Accra Skytrain project is a high-capacity public transport system that is completely automated and cost-efficient public mass transit system that will use air propulsion technology to drive lightweight, high passenger volume vehicles. The system will transport more than 380,000 passengers annually.Sky train systems are pre-fabricated using precision moulded, pre - stressed reinforced concrete components that are capable of being installed at a very rapid rate, meaning that there is minimal disruption and congestion in the urban area that is undergoing installation and commissioning.The project objective is to develop, finance and operate environmentally friendly, elevated, passenger & freight transit systems. The project will involve the development of five routes. Four of them will be radial routes that originate at the proposed sky train terminal at a newly developed Kwame Nkrumah circle, and one route will provides and intra-city commuter loop distribution service. The project will have a total track length of 194km across all routes.
