Project narrative
On March 15th, 2018, China Railway 21st Bureau Group Co. Ltd, a branch of China Railway Construction Corporation, volunteered its trucks and equipment to help restore the Athi River Bridge along the A109, the main road connecting the port city of Mombasa and the capital, Nairobi. Torrential rains along the Athi River led to flooding that damaged the bridge and threatened to disrupt traffic flow along the road. China Railway 21st Bureau Group Co Ltd, which was working on a project nearby, mobilized more than 40 Chinese and 100 local employees to carry out emergency repairs that lasted 5 and a half hours. The flooding caused issues on other roads in Kenya. The B3 highway between Nairobi and Masai Mara also had to be repaired, as seen in Record ID#89249.
