The Mirama Hills–Kigali Railway is a proposed cross-border section linking the Uganda–Rwanda border with Kigali. It is intended to connect Rwanda to the wider Mombasa–Kigali rail corridor and improve access to regional ports and markets. The project remains at project-structuring stage.
<p>The governments of Kenya and Uganda and Rwanda have committed to the development of a standard gauge railway that links the landlocked countries of Rwanda and Uganda with Mombasa port in Kenya. This project entails the section from the Mirama Hills border (Uganda/Rwanda) to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.</p>
<p>The main objective of the railway line construction is to provide a reliable, efficient railway network leading to reduced cost of transportation and logistics between 15% to 20%. The decrease in transport cost can lead to sustained rapid industrialization and economic growth of the East African region.</p>
