HIGH-SPEED RAIL FOR SUDAN

Posted on 07 May 2010 by Railways Africa Editor

Southern Sudan has announced plans to build a high-speed railway from Juba to Tororo in Uganda. Business Daily quotes presidential adviser (and director-general of the project) Kostelo Garang saying that phase one – from Tororo to Gulu – will cost an estimated $US3 billion. The second phase – to Juba – will cost an estimated $US4 billion. The proposed line would greatly facilitate the movement of goods and people between Juba and the wider East African region including Mombasa.
