DAVIS & SHIRTLIFF PROFILE 37 PICTORIAL (Centre pages) 2 H.E. PRESIDENT MWAI KIBAKI COMMISSIONS KSHS. 27 BILLION NAIROBI-THIKA SUPER HIGHWAY President Mwai Kibaki officially launched the Nairobi- Thika Super highway, which cost approximately Kshs 27 billion, on Friday, 9th November, 2012. The reconstruction that kicked off in January 2009, is complete – and the Government views it as one of the main pointers towards the realization of the Kenya Vision 2030. The completion of the highway has drastically changed Nairobi’s road network as each side of the dual carriageway has eight lanes complete with flyovers and interchanges. The 30 kilometer dual carriageway road project, H.E the President said, is an initiative by the Government to provide an alternative route for transit vehicles destined to western parts of Kenya or the coast region without passing through the Nairobi Central Business District. The President noted that the project was financed jointly through a concessionary loan from the Government of the People's Republic of China, the Government of Kenya and the African Development Bank With regard to Government's commitment to addressing traffic congestion in the city, the President disclosed that expansion work along the busy Langata and Magadi roads had commenced to rehabilitate and upgrade the vital highway. The expansion and upgrading of Lang'ata road is scheduled to be completed by mid next year and is expected to improve traffic flow for vehicles accessing the city centre from Ngong, Karen, Ongata Rongai and Kiserian........................................................... During the occasion, the President appreciated the urgency required in addressing traffic congestion so as to curtail its negative impact on the country's economic growth projections. He regretted that the numerous hours spent in traffic jams translated to additional cost of doing business hence eroding market competitiveness as well as undermining the productivity of workers and even the quality of the country's environment. He underscored the need for regular maintenance of the country's road network by putting in place mechanisms for proper and timely repairs to avoid the huge costs of reconstruction of the existing roads.
