The wheels of transformation are turning again, and this time, they’re heading all the way from Naivasha to Kampala.

Kenya has confirmed that the long-awaited Standard Gauge Railway extension will officially begin construction in early 2026, marking the start of one of the most ambitious regional infrastructure projects in East Africa’s history.

The project will be spearheaded by Kenya and Uganda, with partnerships expected from regional investors and development financiers.

Once complete, the SGR will connect Mombasa, Nairobi, Naivasha, Kampala, and the DRC, creating a seamless rail corridor that moves goods, people, and drives growth faster than ever before. With construction slated for early 2026, this signals a new era of East African unity.

Faster logistics. Lower costs. Bigger markets. A stronger East Africa.
This isn’t just a railway, it’s a steel bridge of African cooperation, powered by ambition and built for the future.
