== Highways ==
Under [[Sudan]]ese rule a number of main gravel roads radiating from [[Juba, Sudan|Juba]] were improved. These included roads to the towns southwest of Juba and a road to the [[Uganda]]n border. In addition, the government built a gravel all-weather road east of Juba that reaches the [[Kenya]]n border. There it joined an all-weather Kenyan road to [[Lodwar]] connecting it to the Kenyan road system. 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. Because roads have not been maintained, they have seriously deteriorated.
Highways in [[South Sudan]] are almost entirely unpaved. Rehabilitation is underway and the first paved highway between the country's capital [[Juba]] and [[Nimule]] in the Uganda border has opened. <ref>http://www.usaid.gov/news-information/press-releases/first-paved-highway-south-sudan-constructed-usaid-officially-opened</ref>▼

== Waterways ==
The Nile river is navigable only on some stretches.
The White Nile is a navigable [[waterway]] from the [[Lake Albert (Africa)]] to [[Khartoum]] through [[Jebel Aulia Dam]], only between [[Juba]] and [[Uganda]] requires the river upgrade or channel to make it navigable.
During part of the year the rivers are navigable up to [[Gambela, Ethiopia]], and [[Wau, South Sudan]].
== Pipelines ==
A single pipeline leads from South Sudan's oil fields to (north) Sudan's only seaport, [[Port Sudan]].

The line was damaged in [[Second Sudanese Civil War|the civil war]], in which several parts of it were mined; the line was fully rehabilitated with [[UN|United Nations]] funds.<ref>[http://unmis.unmissions.org/Portals/UNMIS/2008Docs/mmr-jan27.pdf United Nations Mission in Sudan], 27 January 2008</ref>

{{main|List of airports in South Sudan}}
[[File:Juba Airport under construction.jpg|thumb|[[Juba International Airport]]]]
The busiest and most developed airport in South Sudan is [[Juba International Airport]], which has regular international connections to [[Entebbe International Airport|Entebbe]], [[Jomo Kenyatta International Airport|Nairobi]], [[Cairo International Airport|Cairo]], [[Bole International Airport|Addis Ababa]], and [[Khartoum International Airport|Khartoum]]. Juba Airport is also the home base of [[Feeder Airlines Company]]. Other international airports include [[Malakal Airport|Malakal]], with international flights to Addis Ababa and Khartoum; [[Wau Airport|Wau]], with weekly service to Khartoum; and [[Rumbek Airport|Rumbek]], also with weekly flights to Khartoum.
[[Southern Sudan Airlines]] also serves [[Nimule Airport|Nimule]] and [[Akobo Airport|Akobo]], the airstrips of which are unpaved. There are several smaller airports throughout South Sudan, the majority of which consist of little more than dirt airstrips.
