By BAYA SAMUELMore by this AuthorThe construction of the second phase of Dongo Kundu Southern Bypass will start in April, Kenha Director-General Peter Mundinia has said. Speaking in an interview with the Nation, Mr Mundinia said Japanese consortium Fujita Corporation/Mitsubishi Corporation was contracted to undertake the Sh24 billion construction project that will take two years. The 8.96km dual carriage highway includes Mwache bridge which is 660m long, Mwache viaduct (680m) and Mteza bridge, which Mr Mundinia said will be more than 2km long. When President Kenyatta opened the first phase of the bypass at Miritini in June last year, he said construction of the second phase was to begin in August last year, but it was delayed. A huge project like that has to pass through the Attorney-General to assess the issue of taxation and agreements,” Mr Mundinia said.
