Nairobi –Mombasa Highway (A109) on the Northern Corridor, Kenya

Construction of the Nairobi to Mombasa highway in Kenya. The government announced its ambitious plan to decongest Mombasa Road via an elevated highway running on top of the now existing Mombasa Road-Uhuru Highway-Waiyaki Way. The artistic impressions of the proposed highway classified as A109, were unveiled last month and like in the case of Thika Road, major roundabouts on Mombasa Road will be a thing of the past. This is the latest plan by government through Kenya National Highway Authority, to improve roads infrastructure. This project will help reduce traffic snarl ups right from the Junction of Airport north road and Mombasa road, at the Nyayo Stadium Roundabout and Uhuru Highway all the way to Waiyaki Way. In a stretch that one should take less than ten minutes, motorists would spend close to three hours, maneuvering their way through the infamous traffic snarl-ups. After the completion the project will ease the flow of traffic from Likoni Road to the James Gichuru Interchange.
