<p>Construction of a standard gauge railway (2900km) from Lamu Port in Kenya to Juba in South Sudan and Addis Ababa in Ethiopia i.e. LamuGarissa-Isiolo and branching into two links, the link to South Sudan (Isiolo-Nginyang-Nakodok-Juba) and link to Ethiopia (Isiolo-Moyale-Addis Ababa). Design speed: (Passenger train) 160 km per hour (Kph), (Freight train) 120 Kph, Gauge: 1,435 mm (Standard Gauge). The railway project preliminary designs are complete for the Kenyan and Ethiopian route and expected to proceed to the Detailed Engineering Design stage. The Government Kenya and the Government of Ethiopia have signed a Bilateral Agreement to jointly pursue the development of the LAPSSET Standard Gauge Railway. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between LCDA and InterGovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to facilitate the financing of this stage though an Infrastructure Project Preparatory Fund (IPPF) available through the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD). </p>

<p>Construction of petroleum pipeline between
Malaba, Kenya to eastern side of Kampala, Uganda. It is envisaged that the 210
km,  8 inch diameter pipeline will move
Malaba to Jinja (130 km) and then Jinja to Kampala (80 km). It will have a pumping
rate of 168 m3 per hour and an annual capacity of 1.2 million cubic meter. The
pipeline will carry refined petroleum products from the Kenyan port city of
Mombasa to Nairobi, then continue to Eldoret. It was then to be extended to the
Kampala, Uganda from Eldoret.
The total construction cost for the
Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali portion of the pipeline is estimated at approximately
US$5 billion. In November 2014, the International Finance Corporation, an arm
of the World Bank, pledged to lend US$600 million towards the construction of
the Eldoret-Kampala section of the project. The Kampala terminal will have a
capacity of 72,000 m3 and comprise of 7 products and 4 interface tanks. It is
estimated that the Malaba-Kampala line will cost USD 96.9 million. The Uganda
Government is considering relocating the storage facility from the eastern side
to the west side of Kampala city.

the report was submitted the following year. The study was funded by the
European Investment Bank.  Construction

<p><span wfd-id="1002">Construction of petroleum pipeline between
Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala Uganda. This involves the section from Eldoret to
the border with Uganda. The objective is to alleviate the road traffic volumes
on the Northern Corridor, by providing another mode of transport for petroleum
products. The pipeline will carry refined petroleum products from the Kenyan
port city of Mombasa to Nairobi, then continue to Eldoret. It was then to be
extended to the Kampala, Uganda from Eldoret. The Mombasa - Eldoret section of
the pipeline is now operational since 2014. Transversing about 450 km, with a
20-inch diameter. The Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline pumps 1 million litres per hour
into the 745.3 million litres storage capacity. From Nairobi the pipeline has
branches into 2, the Nairobi-Kisumu branch and the Nairobi-Malaba branch. The
Malaba branch is the one being extended to Kampala and onwards to Kigali,
Rwanda. The total construction cost for the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali portion of the
pipeline is estimated at approximately US$5 billion. In November 2014, the
International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank, pledged to lend
US$600 million towards the construction of the Eldoret-Kampala section of the
project. The Eldoret-Kampala pipeline project was to be developed jointly by
the Kenyan and Ugandan governments, with each country being responsible for the
section under its geographical jurisdiction. The 450 km pipeline will eliminate
an estimated 700 oil tanker trucks per day that transport fuel by road between
Mombasa and Nairobi. It "will also enhance and improve the reliability of fuel
supply to the export markets of Uganda, Rwanda and eastern Democratic Republic
of Congo. It is envisaged that the 320 km,<span wfd-id="1003">

The feasibility study for the pipeline
extension was awarded to East African Community (EAC) in September 2011. The
study was funded with $600,000 by the African Development Bank (ADB). The
pipeline extension was accepted in principle by the Kenyan, Ugandan and Rwandan
governments.
