Kenya: The Standard Gauge Railway Takes Shape

Kafrican the seventh picture from down up on this Page is the mombasa station being constructed i entered into sgr Chinese handle and it was in Chinese I copied and pasted it on Google and translated it..... They have more pics and it's really big it will be done before the end of this year!

Bridges will account for 30 km of the 609 km line, including a 2km bridge over Tsavo River. Several other bridges will be built in Tsavo to allow the elephants to pass under the line. Each of these will be 7 metres high and 50 metres long.

Nitashangaa sana kama wanasheria wa mazingira kenya wale waliosababisha ule mradi wa ujenzi wa barabara hapa TZ ulisimamishwa kwa sababu barabara ile ingepita mbugani na ingesumbua wanyama ktk uoto wao wa asili!!

Ila mradi wao huu si wanasheria wa kenya wala wa TZ walioona kuwa kwa kupitisha mradi huu katika njia wapitayo wanyama ni kuwasumbua pia na wala hawaoni kwa ujenzi huo wa reli katika njia ya tembo utasababisha kelele nyingi na usumbufu mkubwa kwa tembo na pengine watalimbia eneo lao??

Wanasheria ni kweli hamuoni????
Zuieni huu mradi utaleta usumbufu na kufukuza wanyama katika eneo lao la asili......

The Standard Gauge Railway is rapidly taking shape, transforming the landscape and livelihoods.

21 campsites have been put up along the route, each supervising the works on a particular section. Two factories have also been opened to supply the sleepers and T-Beams – for supporting bridges.

Bridges will account for 30 km of the 609 km line, including a 2km bridge over Tsavo River. Several other bridges will be built in Tsavo to allow the elephants to pass under the line. Each of these will be 7 metres high and 50 metres long.

The Sh 345 billion project is scheduled for completion in June 2017. It will carry freight trains at a speed of up to 80km/h and passenger trains at a maximum speed of 120km/h.

We have some pictures showing some of the progress.

Wooow ur holier than though Tanzanian attitude just goes on and on like u know everything

Last year Tanzania lost 10,000 elephants without a trace while Kenya only lost 93 but u just can't help urself

The only DNA research centre on animals in East and Central Africa is found in kenya but ur judging kenyas stance

KWS is the only African wildlife protection group that airlifts animals (wounded) to get treatment even from serengeti

U saw a lion getting an operation 2weeks ago in kenya Tanzania border by Kenyan doctors??? Right??

Kws is ranked best animal protection unit in the world with SAS Trained snipers, night vision, drones, etc

Yet ur here judging kenya!!!!!!
Get a life

Tanzania utaueleweki tupo UJAMAA au UBEPARI

I can forsee alternative fast route to Nairobi: Speedboat Zanzibar Mombasa , SGR Mombasa Nairobi.

No wonder this is a multi -billion shillings project! There are numerous processes that this project has to go before we see the real thing huh? The SGR! Thanks Nyang'au. No wonder we are the Nyang'au......
