What you need to know:

  • The landing station will be built over the road and all cable cars will come under the landing station.

  • C&C Construction Company will work hand-in-hand with Doppelmayr Group that will be in charge of the technological part of the project.

  • The cable express car is expected to be a state-of-the-art gondola car system connecting either side of the Likoni channel crossing.

Pre-engineering work for the Sh5.8 billion Likoni Cable Cars Express project is set to start next week after a lengthy delay.

The work will involve physical survey of the sites where the landing stations and the mast will be built on the two sides of the Likoni channel.
