Multibillion Bypass Now a Death Trap After Being Disfigured

For sometime now, the government has always called on Kenyan Citizens and relevant government agencies to help protect public and government property.

The government has been putting up mega development projects but the running and maintenance of these projects have never been easy due to Vandalization and theft.

The latest multi-billion project to be vandilized though through an accident this time is the Dongo Kundu bypass.

Part of the bypass was vandalized after an accident involving a truck carrying soil near Port of Mombasa on Wednesday.

Changamwe police boss Peter Omanwa said the driver of the truck was heading to Nairobi before he lost control of the vehicle during the 6am incident.

The truck hit the pillars of a tunnel along the bypass causing part of the roof to tumble down.

The lone injured driver was taken to Coast General Hospital. 

As a result of the accident, one lane of the road was closed indefinitely. The roof had blocked the lane for vehicles heading to Nairobi.

“We have to wait for cranes to come and removed the rubble,” Omanwa said.

Kenya National Highways Authority said the bypass is Kenya’s most expensive road, which cost Sh2.7 billion per kilometre and was constructed by China Engineering Construction Company.
