Voi-Taveta Railway Hits 40 Per Cent Completion After 20 Years of Inactivity

The rehabilitation of the 120-kilometer Voi-Taveta railway line in Kenya has reached 40 percent progress, according to Kenya Railways. The project, launched by President William Ruto in April 2026 after over 20 years of inactivity, aims to connect Voi to Taveta and boost cross-border trade with Tanzania. It will also feature a dry port in Voi to enhance its logistics role. The 5 billion shilling project is creating local jobs and supporting regional economic development.
