LINK ROAD {MOMBASA PORT AREA ROAD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PACKAGE I} ALMOST COMPLETE
In May 2015, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) with the support of Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) embarked on the construction of Miritini – Kipevu New Container Link Road approximately 11.4 Km.
The road project is package one (I) of Mombasa Port Area Road Development Project (MPARD) also known as the Dongo Kundu Bypass. The project road is predominantly situated in Mombasa County with sections traversing Kwale and Kilifi Counties.
The new link road to Kipevu Container Terminal is a dual carriageway and starts at Miritini along the Mombasa – Nairobi (A8) Highway, 22 km from Mombasa.
The newly constructed road runs in a southerly direction through Mwache junction, approximately 5.6 km and turns eastwards along the coastline to the New Port Terminal at Kipevu. An access road to the Moi International Airport has also been constructed to facilitate ease access to the Bypass from the Airport.

•Dual carriageway 11.4km in length from Miritini to Kipevu
•Modern Grade Separated Interchanges at Miritini and Mwache
•Three main Bridges

This one picture sums this project up. They literary had to curve around a rocky hill to build the dual bypass road. 30 billion well spent. Now let’s await the lane markings. One of my favorite Jubilee projects.
tano tena mathighs,nobody should be persecuted unheard,hata wewe ulitwambia nini kuhusu mikia,should we say wewe ni gay ama bisexual?
Its our tax
HAHAHAHA 
Some Say you do not need faith to move mountains you need the Japanese !
It’s spectacular
You say that Ksh30 billion of our tax money was “spent”. Do you have any idea how much of it was eaten in the process?
dongo kundu ilitoka wapi? ama hawa majamaa wanatumianga clay kama lube?
How much please?
I don’t. But assuming the common trends of recent days, eg
“Kenya is planning to import the high capacity buses yet Tanzania, which initially imported buses from China, has turned to us to use our 70-year plus experience to build them the buses,” said Mr Maundu who doubles as the Kenya Bus Body Builders Association chairman.
He said Kenya’s plan to import fully built units negated the Jubilee government’s Big Four Agenda, especially the manufacturing pillar, where the government pledged to provide incentives to support local companies in a bid to generate jobs, revenue and hence higher taxes.
Kenya will pay Ksh500 million ($4.9 million) to import 30 buses, effectively exporting jobs to the more advanced economy.
I WOULD SAY IT IS SOMEWHERE IN THE REGION OF 5 TO 10 BILLION.
