With plans for the construction of the third phase of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Naivasha to Kisumu beginning to take shape, expectations are that work on this section will have less disruptions. The Government has finally presented the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report seeking approval to go ahead with the project so that the SGR can ultimately link the Port of Mombasa to neighbouring countries.
It is expected that with this report, the public will get their first indication of the scope of the work involved in constructing 257 kilometres of railway tracks from Naivasha to Kisumu.
