GLOBALink | Chinese-built Nairobi Expressway creates job opportunities for locals

The Chinese-built Nairobi Expressway has created employment opportunities for Kenyans after it was officially launched months ago.

The toll road links Kenya's main airport, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, on the eastern side of the capital to the Nairobi-Nakuru highway in the west. It currently employs about hundreds of locals.

China Road and Bridge Corporation built the 27-km Nairobi Expressway under a public-private partnership model. It's the first double-decker road in the region and has been hailed as a game-changer in urban mobility.
