A ship ferrying steel for construction of the Sh1.5 billion Likoni floating bridge will dock in Mombasa in the next few days.

The ship left China last week with with the material which will be used to assemble the bridge at the port of Mombasa in a special berth near Kipevu Oil Terminal.

Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) Coast regional director Eric Wambua said construction of two embankments from which the bridge will stand was underway.

“The project will be a relief to more than 300,000 people who use Likoni Crossing Channel on a daily basis,” said Mr Wambua.
