The project will convert the current two-lane highway to four lanes, expandable to six.

Korean Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation Africa (KIND) has conducted a pre-feasibility study on the upcoming Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway project. The 482-kilometre stretch will link Machakos in Nairobi and Mariakani in Mombasa.

The pre-feasibility study was undertaken by KIND in collaboration with the the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works.  

KIND is also reported to have been awarded the contract to construct the expressway, after the initial contractor, Bechtel Corp, pulled out of the project citing financial limitations.  

The project will be a public-private partnership (PPP) and is estimated to cost US$2.18 billion. It was initially launched in 2016 as part of Kenya’s Vision 2030, and the groundbreaking ceremony took place in 2019. The project includes rehabilitating and creating two additional lanes along the existing double-lane highway, to convert the highway to four lanes which will further be expandable to six.
