Description
The Outering Road project upgraded this critical Nairobi orbital road from a congested single carriageway to a modern dual carriageway with grade-separated interchanges at Taj Mall, Donholm, and other key junctions. The road forms part of Nairobi's semi-ring road system connecting Mombasa Road to the Thika Superhighway through the eastern suburbs. Funded by the Chinese government, the project significantly reduced travel times along Nairobi's eastern corridor.
