Targeting successful completion before the 2019 madaraka day celebrations, the Nairobi to Naivasha standard Gauge
Last year it was announced that construction of the 120-kilometer Nairobi-Naivasha Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is almost complete with China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) engineers having constructed 80 percent of the infrastructure, including roadbeds, culverts, bridges and station buildings.
“Before work was stopped in July 2018, the anticipated completion day was June 2019 and with the remaining section of work not being attended to, the launch date may be delayed,” said Mr. Steve Zhao, CCCC Kenya Spokesman.
“We are however hopeful that once the issues are resolved and CCCC resumes work, we will be able to work hard as expected and deliver exemplary results as is our norm.”
