AfriTrade Consulting Group proudly celebrates a remarkable milestone in Kenya’s infrastructure development.
The official opening of the 17-kilometer Dongo Kundu Bypass, anchored by the awe-inspiring Mteza Bridge, now the country’s largest over-the-ocean bridge, spanning 1.4 kilometers.
Complemented by two additional bridges, Tsunza Viaduct (690m) and Mwache Bridge (660m), this transformative project stands as one of the most ambitious feats of modern engineering along the Kenyan coast.
Together, these structures form a crucial transport corridor that will redefine connectivity between Mombasa, Kwale, and the South Coast.
Transforming Travel and Trade
The new bypass dramatically reduces travel time between Moi International Airport and Diani from over five hours to under one hour, a game-changer for tourism, logistics, and local businesses.
By easing congestion through Mombasa’s main island and facilitating faster access to the South Coast, the project is expected to bolster both domestic and international tourism.
Therefore, unlocking Diani’s full potential as one of Africa’s most attractive travel destinations.
Beyond tourism, the Dongo Kundu Bypass will attract foreign direct investment (FDI), promote regional trade, and stimulate the growth of industrial and logistics hubs across the coastal region.
Catalyzing Economic Growth Through the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone
At the heart of this new infrastructure network lies the upcoming Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a flagship initiative designed to drive Kenya’s industrial transformation and global competitiveness.
AfriTrade Consulting Group is proud to play a leading role in this development,
Additionally, spearheading investor facilitation, feasibility studies, and strategic advisory services to ensure a thriving and sustainable investment environment within the SEZ.
Through strong partnerships and expert guidance, AfriTrade continues to support government efforts in positioning Kenya as a regional hub for trade, manufacturing, and logistics.
Building Bridges to the Future
The successful completion of the Dongo Kundu Bypass is more than an engineering achievement.
Indeed, it’s a statement of Kenya’s determination to build a resilient, connected, and prosperous future.
At AfriTrade Consulting Group, we remain committed to championing such transformative projects that not only enhance regional integration but also create long-term economic opportunities for communities across East Africa.
