Bypass to boost Kenya-Tanzania cross-border trade
Cross-border trade between Kenya and Tanzania at Lunga-Lunga One Stop Border Post (OSBP) will increase, after connection with the port of Mombasa was opened after completion of Dongo Kundu bypass. The completion and opening of the $307,106 infrastructure this week within Mombasa port road network, will enable movement of goods to the second busiest border between Kenya and Tanzania after Namanga, without using the Likoni ferry. The project will later connect with the 460-kilometre East African Coastal Corridor development project between Malindi and Bagamoyo, which is being funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and a grant from the European Union.
