NAIROBI, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) It is still under construction - many months away from completion - but Kenya s capital expressway, which is being constructed by the Chinese, is already a marvel.
Its towering pillars, erected at various sections along Mombasa-Nairobi Road, are attractive to motorists, commuters and pedestrians, many of whom can not wait to use the road when it is complete.
Sections of the Nairobi-Mombasa Road have been blocked to allow smooth construction of the highway, causing some inconveniences to motorists.
But residents are braving the traffic jams knowing that it is just a matter of time before they are a thing of the past. The road is expected to be completed sometime next year, according to the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works of Kenya.
