RSSThe World Bank agreed to finance construction of Kenya’s first double deck highway, according to media reports.
Construction is set to begin by the end of this year on the toll road to link Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
Peter Mundinia the director-general of the Kenya National Highways Authority, explained that construction of the all-elevated dual carriageway will be in three phases. The first will begin with 6.5km running from the airport to Likoni Road and the Southern bypass interchange.
The second stretch, 12 km, will connect Likoni Road to James Gichuru Road junction on Waiyaki Way in Westlands, while the last section will run from James Gichuru Road to Rironi, on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
The authority announced in July that the Chinese firm Wu Yi won the project tender.
