Grant Description

On March 14th, 2018, the Nairobi-Malaba Railway Project Department of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) sent workers and equipment to complete an emergency repair of a flooded highway in Kenya.

Due to days of heavy rain, the B3 highway, connecting the Kenyan capital Nairobi and the Masai Mara Game Reserve, had been washed away by floods. This resulted in the stranding of hundreds of motorists.

Engineers and management for the CCCC were working on the nearby Nairobi - Malabar Standard Gauge Railway and offered to provide emergency assistance to repair the road. The Kenya National Highway Administration authorized the repair of the road.

The CCCC sent an emergency repair team of 60 people as well as an excavator, a bulldozer, a road roller, a grader and 35 dump trucks. After ten hours of repair, the road was reopened. According to the CCCC, the cost of repair was close to one million Chinese Yuan. The flooding caused issues on other roads in Kenya.

The Athi River Bridge along the A109 also had to be repaired, as seen in Record ID#72084.
