The consortiums Vinci-Meridiam Infrastructure, IHI Corporation Acciona and Sotrabag AG are the three contractors retained for the construction of a bridge in Kenya.

The $200 million bridge is a public-private partnership agreement for the construction of the second bridge of Nyali. The six-way bridge’s objective is to fluidify the traffic between Mombassa and the island near it.

Kenya Urban Roads Authority, the project manager should rapidly initiate discussions with those three contractors to choose the final winner.

Let’s note that the project is the fifth announced in Kenya in the infrastructure sector since the beginning of 2018. The most important of these projects is a special economic zone of $3.6 billion.
