The Nairobi Expressway is the first PPP road project in Kenya. The project will reduce the travel time from the airport to the city from two hours to twenty minutes, significantly reducing logistics and commuting costs. Since its opening on May 14, the average daily traffic flow has increased from 15,000 at the beginning of the operation to 35,000. The project has provided more than 6,000 jobs in Kenya. After the official operation, the Nairobi Expressway will be fully integrated into the city's traffic, promoting the development of various industries and facilitating the daily travel of citizens.

The eastern bypass project in Nairobi is to widen the eastern bypass from two lanes to four or six lanes, with a total length of 27 kilometers. The project team made a scientific plan to overcome difficulties and completed the project nearly half a year ahead of schedule.
The two highways, together with the Southern, Western and Northern bypass project constructed by CCCC, will form a highway transportation network for Nairobi, which will play an important role in relieving the traffic pressure in Nairobi and promoting the high-level development of the city.
