Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia said already Kenya is in talks with the French government on the execution of the project.
The expansion of the rail track will be extended to JKIA allowing air travellers an alternative mode of transport to and from the airport without suffering the frustration of being caught up in the Mombasa Road traffic jam.
This will in turn significantly ease traffic delays that characterise the road network and also promotes railway usage further to the public.
“We have another project that will connect the Syokimau Station to the airport. Both Kenya and the French government had agreed on the funding and shall be implemented soon,” said Mr Macharia.
