Kenya’s transport landscape is on the verge of a transformative shift with the imminent completion of the Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway. This crucial infrastructure project, poised to significantly impact the efficiency and safety of the country’s logistics and transportation sectors, will soon see buses and trucks being compelled to utilize this modern thoroughfare. The primary driver behind this mandate is time—both in terms of saving it and ensuring its efficient use.
Currently, the journey between Nairobi and Mombasa is a logistical challenge. The existing route, plagued by traffic congestion, road accidents, and suboptimal road conditions, can take up to 12 hours for heavy vehicles. The expressway promises to slash this travel time to approximately four hours, a reduction that offers substantial benefits.
The Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway is designed to modern standards, featuring multiple lanes, better signage, and advanced safety measures. This ensures a more predictable and safer journey for heavy vehicles.
