  • The Bhaleydhunga passenger ropeway in India is expected to be open by October 2020. The project started in November 2014 and was originally anticipated to be completed in 36 months. The three-year delay was due to forest clearance, harsh weather conditions, and a limited power source. The ropeway will have three stations and will take 12 to 16 minutes to travel the 2,000 meters in elevation between the lower and upper stations.
  • The Likoni Cable Express project in Kenya has been canceled by local senators. The construction of the project was approved in August 2018 with construction set to begin in 2019. However, land disputes between transportation agencies delayed construction and during that time government officials reconsidered the project and pulled back from the public-private partnership.
