China Daily Africa | Updated: 2017-05-28 08:23

The eagerly awaited inauguration of Kenya's modern railway infrastructure is set for May 31. The $3.8 billion Standard Gauge Railway, developed by China Road and Bridge Corp, has been completed six months ahead of schedule. It is expected to lower the cost of doing business in East Africa as it enables the transportation of freight from the port of Mombasa to Nairobi, with later connections to neighboring Uganda and Rwanda.

Here is a chronology of the milestones of the 472 km Nairobi-Mombasa route:
