The construction of a Sh82 billion bridge on the Likoni channel is expected to commence in April. The national government on Thursday began the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of the proposed Mombasa Gate Bridge Project.
The 1.4 kilometre bridge will link Mombasa island and the Mombasa South mainland, which will ease traffic at the ferry crossing.
The project is jointly funded by the Kenyan and Japanese governments, through JICA.
