The Ghana government last year diverted many of their improvement in transport to the construction of railways across leading to the capital city. Accra.
For about three days now, the continuous rainfall in some parts of the country has caused damages to people and some properties. Information reaching us is that Portions of the railway line recently laid by the Ghana Railway Company Limited have been washed off its tracks by the floodwaters that resulted from the rainstorm that occurred in parts of Accra in the late hours of Monday, June 9, 2020.
In a bid to revive its operations, the Ghana Railway Company Limited has in the last year embarked on a campaign that has seen the company lay new tracks on the Accra-Nsawam lines and other routes.
But following the rainstorm and its resulting floods in several parts of the capital, portions of the Achimota-Abofo section of the Accra-Nsawam rail line got carried away from its original position to a nearby location.
GhanaWeb reported this morning that, as they visited parts of the rail line, engineers of the GRCL were already on-site working to revert the situation to put the tracks back in its original position.
As usual of the rainy season, major parts of the capital city were flooded after Monday night’s rainstorm. Some of the worst affected areas included Achimota, Adabraka, Dome, and Avenor.
