The Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) has said that feasibility studies regarding the Likoni bridge are at its final stage.
Speaking during a press briefing in Mombasa on Tuesday, KeNHA director general Peter Mundinia said they will construct a connection bridge across Likoni channel linking it to the Mombasa Port.
The director further said they will commence the construction of the long awaited terminal to ease transport and travel in the area, by the end of this year.
“Transportation in the area will improve if the bridge gets a landing site at the port of Mombasa. The process is however highly consultative as every stakeholder ought to be involved in the bid to decongest the Coastal island,” said Mundinia.
In March this year, the Jubilee government secured a construction grant to aid the designing and building of the bridge.
Concerning the Dongo Kundu bypass, Mundinia said the Transport Ministry is holding high level talks with the Japanese government to see the foreign nation provide funding for the second and third phase.
