A Chinese firm has been awarded a Sh7.5 billion contract to realign the accident-prone Nithi Bridge, marking a major milestone for President William Ruto’s administration, which has repeatedly promised residents that work on the project would begin.
China Wu Yi Company Limited is expected to start work on the project, whose cost gobbles up half of the 84-kilometre Kenol-Marua dual carriageway, according to disclosures by the Kenya National Highways Authority.
