  • The Nairobi Expressway is a 26.7 km project consisting of a 15.6 km roadbed section from Mlolongo to the Southern Bypass and an 11.1 km elevated section from the Southern Bypass to James Gichuru Road.
  • The project is structured as a Public Private Partnership using a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model between the Government of Kenya and the private investor, China Roads and Bridges Corporation (CRBC), with a concession period of 30 years.
  • The estimated construction cost of the expressway is approximately 60 billion Kenya Shillings, or 557 million US dollars.
  • The road will feature ten toll stations to allow CRBC to recoup its investment, with proposed one-way charges of 300 shillings for salon cars and 1,800 shillings for trucks.
  • The project is expected to create 3,000 jobs during the three-year construction period and 500 jobs during the 27-year operation period.
  • Utility relocation involves moving approximately 80.3 km of water pipelines (sizes DN200mm to DN1000mm steel and OD25mm to OD160mm HDPE) and 18.9 km of sewer pipelines (sizes DN300mm to DN750mm) including 325 manholes.
  • Biodiversity assessments identified a total of 4,690 trees across the site, with the most numerous species being Terminalia sericea (476), Casuarina equisetifolia (340), and Acacia xanthophloea (377).
  • The project design aims to minimize the demolition of buildings by utilizing the median of the existing A8 road, although some perimeter walls may be affected by land acquisition.
