What you need to know:

  • Construction of the Makupa causeway is underway, with works now on the overpass at Changamwe.
  • Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) says the section from Digo Road to Kibarani is complete and open for use by the public.

Multibillion-shilling road projects currently underway in Mombasa are set to change the face of the port city, boosting its prospects in transport and tourism. 

Construction of the Makupa causeway — for long a nightmare for motorists entering and exiting the island through the Moi International Airport and the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) terminus — is underway, with works now on the overpass at Changamwe.
