Dongo Kundu bypass

Dongo Kundu Bypass is a proposed road that will connect Mombasa Mainland (South and West) without entering Mombasa Island. The Kenya National Highway Authority(KeNHA) has signaled the start of a process to construct the Mombasa city southern by-pass.

The construction of the KSh4 billion bypass has been long in coming, but a misunderstanding among different government agencies over the routing has stopped it from rolling out.

Background

Dongo Kundu will connect Mombasa and the South Coast to ease pressure on the Likoni channel. It measures about 17.5 km from Miritini at the mainland to Ng’ombeni to the south mainland.

Dongo Kundu will provide the necessary infrastructure to develop the Mombasa free trade zone similar to the one in Dubai. It will run two kilometers west of Moi International Airport in Mombasa and connect the Likoni-Diani and the Mombasa-Nairobi highways.^[1]
