At least 10 million vehicles have passed through the Nairobi Expressway six months after the 27.4-kilometre road was commissioned, potentially raising hopes that the Chinese contractor could recover costs from charging motorists.
China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) built the double-decker highway with privately-sourced funds to be recovered through toll charges by its subsidiary, Moja Expressway, which will operate the road for 27 years.
