FILE PHOTO | NMGThe Japanese government is set to award the multi-billion shilling tender for the second phase of dualling of Dongo Kundu bypass, paving the way for the upgrade of the key infrastructure that will connects the North and South coast. “The tender for the second phase of Dongo Kundu bypass which stretches between Mwache Junction and Mteza will be awarded towards the end of June and is set to start by August,” said the Kenya National Highway Authority (Kenha) general manager for special projects David Muchilwa on Tuesday. Phase three of the project involves the construction of a 6.9-km road from Mteza and Kibundani-connecting the highway to the Likoni-Lunga Lunga road. The Dongo Kundu road also referred to as the Southern bypass, is seen as the solution to the perennial problem of congestion at the Likoni Ferry, which is blamed for underdevelopment of the South Coast.
