This is a list of planned, or proposed, high-speed rail projects by country. Although a number of countries have conducted preliminary feasibility studies, many lines are eventually shelved or postponed due to high costs; only a few nations are building high-speed rail lines. Planned (or proposed) lines are separated here from lines under construction, and some countries have both. High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds over 200 km/h (125 mph).^[1]

Africa

Integrated network

In 2013, the African Union (AU) passed Agenda 2063: a 50-year development trajectory which includes a continental free trade zone, a common passport, an end to armed conflict, an annual African economic forum, a space program, a Great African Museum, establishment of e-universities, and a high-speed rail network.^[2] Africa has the lowest rail density of any inhabited continents, with 16 countries lacking rail altogether (especially in Central Africa); most rail lines are single-track freight lines operating at 30|km/h, traveling from ports to industrial zones such as mines and forests.^[3]

The AU signed a memorandum of understanding with China in 2014 for the 30– to 50-year development of a continental rail system connecting all African capitals with modern rail technology,^[4] facilitating interoperability by using one gauge instead of the current nine.^[3] The network's goal is to facilitate intra-African trade and lower shipping costs. Its initial timeline for 2022 was the completion of preparatory work; only 12.3 percent of the network was studied, however,^[5] largely due to funding constraints.^[3] Completed pre-feasibility studies include the 2,891-kilometre (1,796 mi) Cotonou-Niamey-Ouagadougou-Abidjan Railway, which would cost US$5.022 billion to build and rehabilitate and US$866 million to equip.^[3] The Djibouti-Libreville corridor was estimated to be 2,366 kilometres (1,470 mi) long and cost $5.277 billion, and the Dakar-N'Djamena-Djibouti corridor was estimated to be 5,139 kilometres (3,193 mi) in length and cost $14.05 billion.^[3] It has not yet been specified which rail lines would operate at 330 kilometres per hour (210 mph), 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph), or 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph).

A master plan for 2033 envisions 35,828 kilometres (22,262 mi) of rail construction with the following projects. The first three are accelerated pilot projects under study or construction. The objectives by 2033 are to connect 16 landlocked countries to seaports and connect regions with trans-Africa corridors.^[6] The 2043 master plan would expand the network to connect Africa's political and economic capitals by rail.^[7][6]

Algeria

In 2012, ANESRIF began building a double-track 142-kilometre (88 mi) electric high-speed railway reaching speeds of 220 kilometres per hour (140 mph) from Oued Tlélat (Oran) with stops in Sidi Bel-Abbès and Tlemcen. It was 80-percent completed by 2021, with 129 viaducts totaling 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) and three tunnels totaling 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi). The project was scheduled for completion in 2019, but faced delays due to problems with land acquisition and COVID-19 and was scheduled to open by the end of 2021.^[8] The administration began work on an extension from Tlemcen to Akkid Abbas (Maghnia) on the Moroccan border in 2015, a total of 56 kilometres (35 mi) designed for speeds of 220 kilometres per hour (140 mph). It was only seven percent completed by fall 2021, largely due to land-acquisition controversies in Tlemcen and Mansourah.^[9][10] This section will contain Africa's largest viaduct: the 130-metre-high (430 ft), 1.8-kilometre-long (1.1 mi) M'dig Viaduct over the Isser River (near Aïn Fezza),^[8] with a 600-metre (2,000 ft) tunnel into downtown Tlemcen and a renovated train station.^[11] The 198-kilometre (123 mi) project is estimated to cost €2 billion.

Egypt

On 12 March 2018, Egyptian Transport Minister Hisham Arafat said that Egypt was in the process of launching a new high-speed railway linking the Mediterranean and the Red Sea in partnership with more than 10 international companies.^[12][13] In September 2020, a Chinese-Egyptian consortium consisting of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, the Egyptian Samcrete and the Arab Organization for Industrialization received US$9 billion to build a 543-kilometre-long (337 mi) high-speed railway capable of top speeds of 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph). The electric-powered trains would be manufactured in Port Said with a Chinese technology transfer to Egypt.^[14]

The first 660 kilometres (410 mi) was planned to begin in Mersa Matruh^[15] on the Mediterranean Sea and pass through Al-Alamein, Borg El Arab, Wadi El Natroun and 6th of October through southern Cairo to the New Administrative Capital, ending in Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea's Gulf of Suez. Surveying and route planning were completed and construction began on bridges and track by January 2021.^[16] This initial segment, intended for passengers and freight, is projected to cost $3 billion and has a completion date of 2023. On 14 January 2021, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Siemens Mobility and the Transportation Ministry's National Authority of Tunnels to design, install, and maintain Egypt's first high-speed rail system.^[17][18] A second line between Alexandria and Borg El Arab was included in the contract, and both were under construction in 2022.^[19] The Siemens-led consortium received a $4.5 billion contract to build the lines from Ain Sokhna to Marsa Matruh and to Alexandria in September 2021, which are scheduled for completion in 2027.^[20] The lines will use Velaro high-speed passenger trains. The 660-kilometre (410 mi) segment will be designed to carry up to 30 million passengers annually, cut travel times in half, and reduce carbon emissions by 70 percent.^[21] In February 2023, the French construction company NGE signed a contract to build 330 kilometres (210 mi) of the line between Ain Sokhna and Borg El Arab with 100 turnouts.^[22]

A second line will run from the city of 6 October through Fayoum, Minya, Aswan, and Abu Simbel over 1,100 kilometres (680 mi) along the west bank of the Nile.^[23] Local stations will include Al-Ayat, Al-Fashn, Al-Adwa, Bani Mazar, Samalout, Abu Qurqas, Mallawi, and Dayrout.^[24] Survey and construction work for the line began in March 2022 by Egyptian authorities, focusing on the area around 6 October and Fayoum, with an anticipated design speed of 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph) and preliminary operation of express trains at 230 kilometres per hour (140 mph).^[24] An extension of the line was announced in May 2022 from Aswan through Abu Simbel to Toshka and Sharq El Owainat in the Western Desert, as well as an extension to Wadi Halfa in Sudan.^[25][26] The Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development signed a $2.45 million feasibility study for a 283.5-kilometre (176.2 mi) line from Aswan to Toshka and Abu Simbel, as well as an 80-kilometre (50 mi) extension to Sudan which includes a 6-kilometre (3.7 mi) bridge across Lake Nasser.^[27][28] In early 2023, the Transport Ministry said that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi approved the extension from Aswan to Abu Simbel with five high-speed rail stations and seven regional stations planned between Luxor and Abu Simbel.^[29]

A third line is planned in the south from Safaga through Sahl Hasheesh, Hurghada, East Sohag, Qena, and Qus to Luxor at a total cost of $2.7 billion, with a construction time of two years.^[30] Contracts for the second and third lines were planned to be signed by Siemens in March 2022; the €8.1 billion contract was signed on May 31, 2022, between the Egyptian government and Siemens (and its consortium partners Orascom Construction and Arab Contractors), and includes construction of the second and third lines, 41 Velaro eight-car high-speed passenger trains, 94 Desiro high-capacity four-car regional trainsets, 41 Vectron freight locomotives, a level-2 European Train Control System and a suitable power grid.^[31] The network is projected to cost $23 billion and span over 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi).^[18][23]

A planned extension eastwards from Marsa Matruh through El Negaila to Sallum on the Libyan border to Benghazi in Libya was announced by Egyptian Transport Minister Kamel Al-Wazir in November 2020, and was confirmed by the Libyan-Egyptian Chamber of Commerce on 18 January 2021.^[32] An extension to Siwa was also cited.^[26] Al-Wazir reiterated the Egyptian government's commitment to future extensions to Wadi Halfa in Sudan and Benghazi in Libya in March 2023 at the World High Speed Rail Conference in Marrakesh.^[33] This is part of the Egyptian government's larger plan to build political and economic links with Libya and Sudan, including Wadi Halfa.^[26][34]
