The tunnels will now provide a substitute waterway for Athi River. [Stephen Nzioka, Standard]The company constructing the multi-billion shilling Thwake Dam has diverted a stretch of Athi River into two mega tunnels. According to the China Ghezoubha Group Company Limited engineers, the tunnels will now provide a substitute waterway for Athi River before its waters are channelled to rejoin the original course to the Indian Ocean. The tunnels are enough to allow the flow of the swollen Athi River. [Stephen Nzioka, Standard]Engineers say the tunnels measuring 700 metres in length with a diameter of 12 metres are enough to allow the flow of the swollen Athi River.
