Construction of a superhighway linking the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to the Nairobi-Nakuru highway will now cost Sh59 billion or Sh21 billion more than earlier planned, authorities said citing change in design.

The revelation came even as the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) said it had dropped the planned construction of an elevated highway over the entire 43.5km stretch to Rironi in favour of flyovers and underpasses on certain sections of the road.
