Kenya is taking over Africa with this project. Among the top sub-Saharan African construction hubs is Kenya. Kenya has made significant investments in the improvement of its infrastructure under former President Kenyatta, particularly in the area of transportation. To ensure the success of the projects and that Kenyans eventually get to enjoy the benefits of their tax payments, the nation has borrowed substantially from external partners as part of these investments. Kenyans will eventually benefit from the speed that these projects will make available once they are finished, despite feeling as though they are being disproportionately taxed to finance some of these debts. Some projects are only developed under public-private partnership conditions. At the very least June 2022 was the projected completion date for the projects. According to BMI research, Kenya's mega-construction projects would contribute to an increase of 8.7% in the country's construction industry growth from 2017 to 2026. 10. Conza Technology City One of Kenya's top ongoing mega-projects is Conza Technology City. The eastern region of the country is where the smart city project will be implemented. The project, which is a component of the nation's vision 2030 plan, is projected to result in approximately 17,000 high-value direct jobs and an additional 68,000 indirect jobs once it is complete. The African-Silicon Savannah Appalachian refers to the project, which is 64 kilometers south of Nairobi as being modeled after the U.S. Silicon Valley. It targets light manufacturing businesses, contact centers, business process outsourcing, software development, data centers, disaster recovery facilities, and academic institutions. The projects cost $14.5 billion. 9. The LabSet Corridor Program The program, which connects Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, is the biggest and most ambitious infrastructure project in eastern Africa. The estimated cost of this mega-project, which consists of seven important infrastructure projects, is more than $13 million in U.S. dollars. 8. Northland City It is located around 15 kilometers outside of Nairobi's downtown and is one of Kenya's top mega-projects currently under construction. The 11,576 acre parcel in Rourou is where the mixed used development plan is located. The Kenyana family owns the entire plan. The project's fourth quarter, which began in 2018, will see the plots connected to roads, electricity, sewage, water, and the internet. The entire development will take place over the course of four phases, each lasting more than 50 years. An estimated $500 billion to spend on it. 7. Tattu City Tatumatropolis is a 5,000 acre. Over 220 billion Kenyans shillings new city with facilities for over 250,000 people, as well as thousands of day visitors, including schools, clinics, residences, offices, a shopping district, parks, and manufacturing spaces. Tatu City has a variety of dwellings, as well as open businesses and schools. 6. Kenya's Standard Gauge Railway At a cost of $9.9 billion, Kenya is constructing a 969 kilometer standard gauge railway from Mombasa to Malaba. One of Africa's biggest and most ambitious transportation infrastructure projects, according to reports, is this one. Phase one of the project, which runs for 472 kilometers from Mombasa to Nairobi, was finished at a cost of $3.27 billion, while Phase 2A, which runs for 120 kilometers from Nairobi to Nivasha, was built for $1.5 billion. The estimated cost of moving the railway line to Kisumu is $3.7 billion. 5. Nairobi Mombasa Highway Expansion Project A dual carriageway is being built on the two-lane Nairobi Mombasa Highway to relieve the growing traffic jams between Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, and Mombasa, the country's main port city. The Nairobi Mombasa Highway is thought to be used to transport 95% of a cargo from the seaport of Mombasa. The project is estimated to cost $3 billion. 4. Nairobi Expressway The China Road and Bridge Corporation is building this 27 kilometers long highway. It begins in Milolongo and runs through Yakiway to Westlands, connecting JKIA and the CBD. The road is being built by CRBC under a public-private partnership, with a 30-year concession duration and a three-year construction phase. The approximately $560 million road project is Kenya's first significant public private partnership developed project and finished in 2022. 3. Mombasa Port Expansion The second container terminal at the Mombasa port is being built as part of the project. The project was slated to begin in January 2018. Kenya Port's authority, KPA, received a $339 million loan from the Japanese government to fund the project in late 2017. Phase 1 has a handling capacity of 550,000 TUs and was finished in September of last year. The container's second phase will increase its capacity to 450,000 20-foot equivalent units. 2. Pinnacle Towers The project is situated in Upper Hill, a rapidly expanding financial hub in Nairobi and is being spearheaded by two significant investors with headquarters in Dubai, Haspatrolium and White Lotus. The 900-foot tall twin-pinnacle towers will feature 74's total featuring Africa's highest viewing deck, a helipad, a 45-floor Hilton hotel, 24's of offices, 200 residential units, a gaming zone, a three-floor luxury retail and basement parking. The project is expected to cost $200 million in total. 1. Kennell Izio La Road When the S16 billion Kennell-Morua portion of the road project began in July 2020, plans for the dual carriageway received a significant boost. The 84-kilometer Kennell-Morua section of the 219-kilometer highway will be built first, followed by Marua Iziolo 135 kilometers. The entire project is expected to be finished by December 2023.
