H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to officially launch the upgrading of a 6.4km Port Reitz / Moi International Airport Access Road on Saturday 9th January 2016. The road will cost USD 31 million funded by UK’s Department of International Development (DFID) through TMA with USD 20 million and the government of Kenya contributing USD 11 million. An upgraded Port Reitz road is of economic importance to not only Mombasa, but also the wider East Africa region as it will contribute towards improving access to and from the Port of Mombasa by improving the free flow of traffic and easing congestion in Mombasa town. Expansion will begin from the port gate to the junction with airport road, leading to the new Kipevu West container terminal. Port Reitz road construction is one of TradeMark Africa’s commitments under the Mombasa Port Charter launched by H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta on June 30th 2014.
