Kenya's Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)

The 480-km SGR stretches from the port of Mombasa to Kenya's capital Nairobi, involving a total investment of 3.8 billion U.S. dollars, which makes it Kenya's largest infrastructure project since its independence.

Construction of the railway began in December 2014 with China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) being the contractor. In May 2017, Kenya began operations on the Chinese-built SGR in a drive to revolutionize its transportation sector and speed up industrialization.

A train runs on Kenya's Mombasa-Nairobi Railway on May 29, 2017. The 480 km railway linking Kenya's largest port city Mombasa to capital Nairobi, slated to be officially launched on May 31, will be a key infrastructure project that will push forward the East Africa nation's modernization drive, a senior company executive said Monday.
