{UAH} Africa's $30 Billion Rail Renaissance Holds Ticket for Trade - Bloomberg

The bridge at Voi, northwest of the port of Mombasa, is the latest construction frontline for the initial 327 billion shilling ($3.2 billion) stretch of an ambitious railway project to link the East African country with landlocked neighbors including Rwanda and Uganda.

As a faster alternative to the trucks clogging the only road running inland to the capital, the Chinese-built and -financed standard-gauge railway, known as the SGR, has the potential to transform trade in the region.
