Standard Gauge Railway: Phase 1

Objective

While the railway operates passenger services, its primary raison d'être is to improve freight transportation to and from the Port of Mombasa.

Description

The Mombasa–Nairobi-Naivasha Standard Gauge Railway, completed in 2017, was built as the first phase of the Kenya Standard Gauge Railway. It is a standard-gauge railway (SGR) in Kenya that connects the large Indian Ocean city of Mombasa with Nairobi, the country's capital and largest city. This SGR runs parallel to the narrow-gauge Uganda Railway that was completed in 1901
