<p>A One-Stop Border Post (OSBP) facility at Malaba border between Kenya and Uganda on the Northern Corridor. Border type: Juxtaposed.</p>

<p>The project entails the installation of the Malawi section of the 600 km fibre-optic link between Lusaka and Lilongwe: from the Zambia border to Lilongwe.</p>

<p>The design for the LAPSSET higway components provide for a heavy transportation route from Lamu to South Sudan through Garissa, Isiolo, Kisima and Nginyang to meet the existing Kenya - South Sudan road at Lokichar, from where it continues to the border at Nadapal. The Lamu - Isiolo - Lokichar - Lodwar - Nadapal section measures about 1,300 km. The Northern Branch of the corridor to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia is the Isiolo- Moyale section which is also part of LAPSSET Corridor road. Construction on this section has been completed and the One Stop Border Post (OSBP) construction is currently underway.</p>

<p>The project is divided into four sections as follows:</p>

<ul>
<li>Lamu - Garissa  Road -263km</li>
<li>Garissa-Isiolo Road - 305km</li>
<li>Isiolo - Nginyang Road - 212km</li>
<li>Nginyang - Lokichar - Nadapal - 533km</li>
</ul>

<p>NB: The Government of Kenya is currently working on the re-alignment of Isiolo-Nginyang-Lokichar Section). The new aligned section takes the route: Isiolo-Lareta-Maralal-Baragoi-Lokori-Lokichar). Other sections remain the same.</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 Ugandan Government has acquired land in
Namwambula village for setting up the multi-user storage terminal  It will among other things: </p><ul wfd-id="1119"><li wfd-id="1122">Serve
as a distribution center for petroleum products from the refinery to market
centers in Kampala, Western Kenya, Northern Tanzania and Rwanda
</li><li wfd-id="1121">A
storage and distribution centre for imported petroleum products
</li><li wfd-id="1120">A
delivery point for the planned Hoima - Kampala products pipeline and the
planned Eldoret (Kenya) - Kampala (Uganda) products pipeline. It will as well
serve as the starting point for the planned Kampala (Uganda)-Kigali (Rwanda)
products pipeline</li></ul><p>Current truck transportation rates vary from $40
- $ 42 per m3. Total duration to procure, construct and commission 2 to 2.5
years. The feasibility study for the Eldoret to Kampala pipeline extension was
awarded to an international firm in 1997. The study was completed in 1998, and
the report was submitted the following year. The study was funded by the
European Investment Bank.  Construction
is expected to begin in 2014, with a 32-month construction time frame.
Commissioning is expected in 2016.<br></p>

<p>Construction of Katuna/Gatuna One-Stop Border Post between Uganda and Rwanda, which lies on the Northern Corridor. Border type: juxtaposed.</p>

<p>Construction of 365 km Juba-Torit-Kapoeta-Nadapal single cariageway road in South Sudan. The road links with the proposed South Sudan/Kenya OSBP project at Nadapal.</p>

The Isiolo - Lokichar Highway is 416 km long. A 49 km section is already
upgraded under a separate Isiolo-Moyale project. The section to be constructed
under LAPSSET project is therefore 367 km. Currently no direct road link exists
along the proposed routing, but some segments have unpaved road tracks. The
road will be largely new construction requiring paving, drainage and road
furniture. The road is intended to divert transit traffic from Mombasa Port and
the Northern Corridor via Uganda to Juba in South Sudan.
The design standards adopted are an asphalt paved
single carriageway highway with carriageway width 7m and 2.0m wide paved
shoulders. General design speed is 100 - 120 km/h and maximum gradients 3%
except for 20km mountain section with 60 -90 km/h design speed and 10-12%
gradients. The road section commences
east of Isiolo town, proceeds north along Isiolo Moyale highway for 49km before
branching west at Lerata to Wamba , Baragoi, across Suguta Valley to Lokori and
Lokichar located along the Kitale - Lodwar - South Sudan highway. The road traverses a fairly easy flat to
rolling terrain except for the 20km mountainous escarpment section descending
to the 28km flat floor of the Suguta valley.
The notable bridge structures cross several perennial and dry season
rivers and the Suguta floodplain. The
key junctions are at the intersection with Isiolo-Moyale highway and the
Kenya-Sudan highway where grade separated interchanges are proposed. In order
to cater for future increase in capacity, the road reserve to be acquired for
the project is 100m wide which will allow for construction of a future second
carriageway.
