The construction of a Sh2.9 billion office complex that will house Kenya's road agencies is 40 per cent done and will be completed September next year.
The building sits on a nine-acre piece of land in Embakasi near the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Kenya National Highways Authority director-general Peter Munindia says the office complex will host employees of Kenya Rural Roads Authority, Kenya National Highways Authority, Kenya Urban Roads Authority, Kenya Roads Board and Engineers Board of Kenya.
“Several institutions have been established since the Kenya Roads Act was enacted in 2007. However, these institutions have been housed in private premises which, as public institutions, they are hard pressed to afford,” said Mr Munindia.
“To mitigate the various challenges, the government identified and secured a nine-acre piece of land in the vicinity of JKIA where the complex is being constructed”
