The Outer Ring Road, the road which connects travel coming from central Kenya to the international airport in Nairobi and the main highway to Mombasa and the Tanzanian border at Namaga, is to be upgraded from a single-lane to a dual-lane road.
The upgraded road will also link to at least two of the new bypasses which are being constructed, to further ease traffic by bypassing the city’s centre and main business hubs.
The project, which is to be funded by a Chinese firm and Kenya’s government, will cost an estimated US$116 million.
Construction is slated to begin early next year, and should all go according to plan, the upgrade will be complete by 2018.
