Chinese Firm Begins Work on Sh3bn Kinango-Kwale Road
The crews are on the ground mobilising resources and machinery.
China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation has launched works for the 29km Kinango-Kwale Road in Kwale County, which is expected to be completed in 36 months.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) Coast Regional Director Eric Wambua said on Friday that crews were already on the ground mobilising resources and machinery.
Speaking during the Regional Development Implementation Coordination Committee meeting at Kenya School of Government Auditorium, Mr Wambua said the expansion of the road network in Kwale and other coastal counties would greatly boost economic activities in the region.
“The project will bring transformation in the county besides opening up the hinterland and speeding up rural development,” Mr Wambua said.
The Kinango-Kwale Road links the Kinango sub-county to the Kwale County headquarters.
It will connect the county to the Mombasa-Nairobi highway at Samburu and the Likoni-Lunga Lunga road at Kombani.
The new road comes shortly after the completion of the 50km stretch of the Kinango-Samburu road for Sh2 billion.
Both projects have been financed by the national government.
