The Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, expressed his disappointment at the failure of the contractors of the port of Terminal 3 in Tema for the construction of the road to the Tema Hospital.

The Minister regrets that the projects badociated with the expansion have not been developed and deplores the effects on the residents.

Speaking at a stakeholder engagement with Meridian Port Services (MPS), Mr. Ofori Asiamah pointed out that "we can not begin the full operations of this port without finalizing the route of the port." # 39; hospital. "

"We have said it many times. We can not build this building without the infrastructure, including roads, to make the turnaround time easier and cheaper. "

"The old harbor road was built by GPHA. When we opened the port, we found that we needed to build this road. If we started this port in 2015 without looking at the road, I think it is an indictment for all of us. "

MPS recently completed upgrades to the Tama Community Road 3 Crossroads.

The project started in January 2019 and on June 28, 2019, the modernized junction was partially opened to motorists, which made it possible to respect the deadline set for the start of operations at Terminal 3 of MPS Tema Port.
