Kenya gets funding for highway and dam

30 Jan 14 The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the government of Kenya have signed loan agreements for dam and highway projects worth a combined US$217m (£131m).

The money is for the US$97m Thwake multi-purpose dam and the US$120m Nairobi Outer Ring Road.

The ring road project involves the improvement of the existing single-carriageway road to a two-lane dual carriageway.  The construction will include service roads, grade-separated intersections, pedestrian bridges, walkways and cycle tracks over the entire length of the 13km scheme.

Thwake multi-purpose water development programme will create a dam for water supply, hydropower generation and irrigation development. It will also provide regulation of flows on Athi River downstream of the dam for flood and drought mitigation.
