[1] Dongo Kundu Bypass starts in the neighborhood called Miritini, on the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway, approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi), northwest of the central business district of Mombasa.
[3] This road is an important transport corridor for traffic destined to and from Tanzania and that to and from the interior of Kenya and beyond.
Four bridges will be built in the swamps and across the open ocean water, as part of the highway.
Other road improvements in addition to the highway include a 10.1 kilometres (6.3 mi) dual carriageway between Miritini and Kipevu, a road measuring 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) connecting Moi International Airport to the bypass which passes west of the airport and clover-leaf interchanges at Miritini and Kipevu.
At a later date this and other national highways maybe converted to toll roads if and when the appropriate laws are promulgated.
