The construction of the Ngong Road-Naivasha road interchange is expected to begin soon.
This comes after The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) announced it signed a Sh3.2 billion concessional loan for the project on Monday.
KURA signed the concessional loan with a Spanish company known as Centunion which will design and construct the said interchange.
Centunion is the same company that won the contract and constructed the T-Mall overpass along Langata Road and several footbridges along the same road, Raila Odinga Way formerly known as Mbagathi Way and at the Nyayo Stadium roundabout.
