Kenya Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) Extension

under construction

The project involves extending Kenya's Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), a major transport corridor developed with Chinese support under the Belt and Road Initiative. The extension aims to link the port city of Mombasa with neighboring countries such as Uganda, enhancing regional connectivity and trade routes across East Africa. The initial phase completed in 2017 connects Mombasa to Nairobi and parts of the interior, but the extension had been stalled for over six years due to funding issues. The project has been revived with a revised financing approach including a railway development levy to ease financial pressure.
