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.
Governor Joho, recently invited Kenyatta to the county after a meeting with KANU chairman, Baringo senator Gideon Moi.
