The dualling of the 13.5-kilometre Mombasa-Mtwapa road is progressing steadily and remains on schedule, despite earlier setbacks related to land acquisition.
Funded by the African Development Bank, the European Union, and the Government of Kenya at a cost of Sh7.5 billion, the project, currently at 42 per cent complete, is expected to enhance regional connectivity, boost trade, and stimulate tourism.
The scope of work includes constructing a dual carriageway with four lanes, service roads, six grade-separated junctions, six footbridges, and facilities for non-motorised traffic from Nyali Bridge to the start of Mtwapa Bridge.
Additionally, a 12-kilometre trunk drainage system will be built to address flooding.
