It has been recently announced that pre-engineering works have been completed and Kenya will soon start constructions works for the cable car system at the port of Mombasa, which will be the first in the area and the second one in Sub-Sahara Africa. The project is expected to release the pressure off the stretched Likoni ferry service.

Movement in Mombasa and its surrounding areas will be eased thanks to the extend of the Likoni Cable cars project to Moi International Airport, Nyali and Malindi.

The project will be developed following a public-private partnership by Tropos, and Likoni Cable Express, a subsidiary of the Kenya Ferry Services in a concession running for 25 years. Construction of the project is expected to start in August 2018 and will be carried out by C & C Construction Company.
