The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has released a progress report on the construction of the 30-kilometre Kwa Jomvu-Mariakani highway project, following public concern over delays.
Addressing the press on Thursday evening, the Authority stated that the project commenced in July 2023 after the Kenyan government secured funding from the European Investment Bank, the German Development Bank, and the European Union.
The rehabilitation of the road, which forms part of the Mombasa-Nairobi highway, began at the Kwa Jomvu interchange and extends through Miritini, Mazeras, and Mariakani, terminating just past the Mariakani Weighbridge.
According to KeNHA, the scope of works includes upgrading the existing road from a two-way single carriageway to a four-lane dual carriageway, as well as the construction of climbing lanes.
