South Sudan has a total of 248 kilometers (154 mi) of narrow-gauge, single-track railroad line in the country.
In addition, the government built a gravel all-weather road east of Juba that reaches the Kenyan border.
However, all of these improvements radiating from Juba have been vitiated by the civil war, as the roads have been extensively mined by the SPLA and the bridges destroyed.
Rehabilitation work is underway and the first paved highway between the country's capital Juba and Nimule in the Uganda border has opened.
During part of the year the rivers are navigable up to Gambela, Ethiopia, and Wau, South Sudan.
