Background
The Accra SkyTrain is a proposed elevated mass rapid transit system in Accra, Ghana. The system uses air propulsion technology to drive lightweight, high passenger volume rail vehicles.
The project involves the construction of five routes, four of which radiate out from the proposed Kwame Nkrumah Circle, and one route that provides an intra-city commuter loop distribution service. The project will be implemented in three phases and will have a total track length of 194 km.
The SkyTrain project will be financed by the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), an independent fund set up by the government, and the Africa Investment SkyTrain Consortium. It will also have the support of the African Development Bank.
