The Kenyan government has initiated the expansion of the Nairobi Central Railway Station as part of the Nairobi Railway City project, aiming to alleviate congestion and enhance connectivity in the capital. This redevelopment will transform the station into a multimodal transport interchange.

• The project will increase the station's capacity from two platforms to nine platforms.
• Kenya Railways Corporation is responsible for the development, which includes new 2-level buildings, entrances, exits, and footbridges.
• The project will integrate rail, BRT, and pedestrian movement, and convert current congested parking areas into public parks and recreational spaces.
• The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) identified potential challenges like noise and dust during construction, with mitigation measures proposed by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
• The expansion is expected to generate economic benefits, including job creation and increased land value in Nairobi.
