Mazeras-2 Bridge

The 43.5m high Mazeras-2 Bridge is the tallest bridge of the SGR project

Two thirds of the Mazeras-2 Bridge are cast-in-situ rather than precasted

Twasonga....

 

[Kafrican]

Will this railway pass through Konza??

I think it will pass just at the entrance of Konza,, guys will have to take a bus into the city..... or they will have a choice to go to that syokimau station where pessengers heading to Nairobi will alight and take the light rail and Konza guys will take a light rail heading to Konza....


but the also said once konza is complete, it will be linked via rail to JKIA so you never know how it will be linked

Does anyone know the exact length of the Northern corridor SGR section in Kenya. I have researched and the length varies from between 900km-1500km.
But the most detailed and most clearly defined one totals to 1458.9km.
If anyone know the precise length,please share.

Nice view, sasa treni zikiwa zinapita si ndio patapendeza balaa, lazima ntaipandaga tu, so iyo reli inaanzia wapi hadi wapi mazee.
