Tanzania’s electrified Standard Gauge Railway first phase nears completion

Post by John Ashworth »

Tanzania’s $7.5 billion electrified Standard Gauge Railway first phase nears completion
- The first phase of the SGR project from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro is 72% completed.
- Most of the groundworks for the multi-billion dollar Tanzania SGR project have been completed such as the electrifications, calverting, earthwork and bridges by over 80%.
- Once complete, Tanzania SGR project will cover 1,457kms from Dar es Salaam to the shores of Lake Victoria and will cost $7.5 billion over the next five years...
Why oh why did Kenya not build an electrified railway as Ethiopia and now Tanzana have done?
