Chinese-built Dongo Kundu Highway opens up Kenya's coast to tourism

- Since 1937, the Likoni Ferry has served as the main link for people and vehicles crossing from Mombasa Island to Kwale County and further into Tanzania. However, the ferry has often slowed travelers due to frequent mechanical issues and occasional tragic accidents. Now, the newly opened Mombasa Southern Bypass, known as the Dongo Kundu Bypass, promises to change that.

The most beautiful bridge i saw in the region ! It reminds of the one in Miami. Congratulations Kenya from Somali 🇸🇴 neighbours 👏🏻🎉
This opened up and eased connection across the two counties. However it was a Japanese funded project under JICA
Japanese funded project under JICA, Chinese built?
Very possible. Also, when you see the Chinese amplifying these kinds of projects, you know they have a role in there.
Built by Fujita University Japan, supervision by the Mitsubishi corporation, the first phase was Japanese funded and Chinese built not this one
Kwale residents over the years have always been restless of all the coastal communities. Their time for development has arrived big time.
Inshaallah
Long live China-Kenya friendship 🇨🇳🇰🇪
No
Japan not China
Japan built
Come on man! JICA did the funding.,, China Civil Engineering Cooperation did the construction
@@kev_y5346Fujita was on ground.
They shown both Makupa and Dongo kundu....both are superb highways
Uhuru was infrastructure addict
Hahahaha..!!So true..
He dreamt,drank and delivered infrastructure...
Western learn as what is democracy wille china teach as how to success and how to share knowledge and transfer technology china and Africa are win win solution
Many people don't know Uhuru built double what Kibaki did though Kibaki funded most of his projects while Uhuru borrowed heavily 😊
Hatukuli barara na maendeleo leta wheelbarrow sisi ni hustlers
@@pinchesmbuche4354 mjinga, how do you think goods get from one region to another? By wheelbarrows? Endelea kulala bila progress.
Indeed driving on this stretch is so relaxing! ❤
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Point of correction.... MPARD is a Japanese Project not a Chinese One.... Ask JICA
Kenya ❤china
Japan*
Dongo kundu phase one china cccc mariakani miritini makupa
Dongo kundu phase 2&3 japanese fujita mombasa to kibundani interchange
Next mombasa gate bridge to kibundani interchange
Malindi mombasa transnational highway connecting mombasa gate bridge
Correct
Thank you.... The reporter is just doing some shawdy job. He's not well informed. Phase 1 is SGR chinese and Phase 2 Dongo Kundu-Japanese. Give Japanese their flowers for technology shared
Kibakis legacy lives on...
Beautiful
Why are you showing us kibarani/makupa bridge which is actually part of the Mombasa to Mariakani highway project! Dongo kundu is totally different project!
This is a great deveolpment that will help a lot of people but let's not get ahead of ourselves, it is not an engineering marvel. It's a basic bridge with a massive impact.
Do you know how deep it goes into the sea?
All bridges that ease movement and connect two locations are engineering marvels.
0:25 is that bike going towards on coming traffic? That's strange
A single lane was in use, the other lane was still under final works.
This is the kind of development we want for all of Africa, not politicians stealing from public coffers.
Just build a bridge for bicycle, motorcycle n walkway for people. Make it people friendly that ferry can still be an option under the bridge boosting a better scenery n possibly more development
It's not Chinese but Japan under jika
Is that true?
@@infernus42254JICA did the funding, China Civil Engineering Cooperation did the construction
Japan funded Chinese did the work
Hope likoni bridge will be a reality too
Its what we are waiting for! Lets hope for the better.
Contractors are already at site, site paving will start immediately by end of January
Life expectancy 10 years
It's still partially opened. Why are they so slow with the final touches so we can fully enjoy both ways.
Kenya didn't extend our stay as descendents of slavery. They only gave us less days on our ETA. They need to treat their visitors who come home to the Motherland better.
The ETA gives you 90 days with a 60 days extension if you visit immigration offices
Extension isn't automatic,you have to go to immigration office in person and ask ,they don't refuse unless you were implicated in a crime or suspicion of something illegal...🧐
Honestly, this is looking down upon people who have worked on the bridge. Kindly note it's a Japanese-Kenya Public Private Projects not Chinese. All the comments are requesting you put right information.
Long live uhuru
Long live Uhuru Kenyatta
China??? No it's not
Built by a Chinese engineering company and funded by Japan.
What will Ruto do ???😂...in 2 years he already 7.1 trillion n nothing to show for it..
Long live pres uhuru kenyataa
if the road was meant to boost tourism ,couldnt they have made it a little more beautiful using decorations ,make it look like los angels roads or somethin like that
nice !~
What is wrong with us. Tourism is long dead in Mombasa after the Arab youth became radicalised.
Mombasa should be viewed as a manufacturing and trade hub.
Runners World...
Japanese built !
Japanese funded not built
But but Human Rights
Japanese and Chinese combined
Japanese built.
Its japanese my bro
Why the sensationilism here.....Tourism has been here always....just another route
Another Chinese debt t trap😮😢
10 mins to Diani, that driver is still over spending
Japanese built under jica!
🎉😢
Japanese
Was it not done by the Japanese?
Apparently jointly built by both Chinese and Japanese engineering companies.
Thought to be but was done by JICA a Japanese company not Chinese
The project was envisioned in 1970 !?? 🤔
Yes when senior Obama was at the economic development ministry, his boss was Tom Mboya, the bypass was to be funded and constructed by the Americans
Eh my people! JICA funded the project..,China Civil Engineering Cooperation did the construction alongside Mitsubishi Corp.
Only phase 1 was constructed by Chinese, phase 2 and 3 which covers the Dongo Kundu stretch is being undertaken by Fujita which is a Japanese University, Mitsubishi Corp is supervising, the main subcontractor is Kenyan Israel company called Hyoung
@@ruwaruwa1 This is correct.
The most costly road in the world, where uhuru cartels looted billions from Kenyans
The road is actually a Japanese road not Chinese road.
Every time Chinese built Chinese built to the point you even confuse yourself.... this road is japanese built
Mchinku atakuambia uongo ajisifu ikiwezekana😅😅
This isn't dongo kundu road
This is a Japanese project. Acheni uwongo
It was not 2hrs. It all depends on luck. Sometimes you could queue at the ferry for even 4hrs. Goodbye ferry nuisance!
Not Chinese bro it's japanese called toyo
This project was fully funded by the Japanese via JICA and the government of kenya. quite shameless for the chinese to take credit for its actualization.
This is misleading!
It doesn't extend to Tanzania
The bypass links to the Mombasa(Likoni) - Lunga Lunga highway to Tanzania.
Sadly Uhuru+Kibaki projects are being concluded. We will not see such for at least the next 10 years. Back to 2002. Debts, theft and degeneration is the focus of this government
Japanese built not Chinese built
Build by the Japanese. Fujita.
Done by Japan Japanese Japan Japanese Japan Japanese Japan Japanese Japan Japanese and the Kenyan Government
The next problem is the road users majority of the drivers don't follow the rules 😅 simple keep left you find truck drivers driving on the extreme right on a triple Lane Road😢😢😢 at a speed of 60kmh sad
Long live Uhuru.
Chinese?
It's Japanese built not Chinese
Nduthi gang doing their stunts already driving wrong side
I see Japanese on site, No Chinaman
It was built by a Japanese firm not a Chinese one
Japanese built,shame on you
