Days after the official launch of the Nairobi-Thika superhighway, Kenya will yet again see to the launch of another major infrastructure project, the Syokimau Railway Station. The project which commenced in 2009 is among the key projects highlighted in the Vision 2030 manifesto aimed at improving the transport sector around the city.
The ultra-modern railway station facility, financed by the Kenyan government to the tune of Sh200 million, has been fitted with modern surveillance cameras to enhance security, automatic doors and ticket scanners among other state-of-the-art features.
The opening of the new station, and a 2.2km spur line linking it to the old Embakasi line, marks the completion of phase one of the Sh24 billion Nairobi urban transport network that is aimed easing traffic congestion in the city.
The Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) contracted El Noor Construction Ltd to build the station while the laying of new railway tracks and refurbishment of existing tracks was jointly undertaken by the corporation and Rift Valley Railways (RVR).
Syokimau Railway Station is one of the ten stations that KRC plans to build within Nairobi aimed at facilitating easy shuttling of people to and from the city. Other stations will be situated at Imara Daima, Jogoo Road and Makadara among other locations.
