The Turbi-Moyale highway in northern Kenya's Marsabit county, an important part of the Trans-Africa Highway (TAH), is expected to be completed in June, according to China Wuyi Kenya Co Ltd.

Chen Fuqiang, who is in charge of the construction project for the 130-kilometer Turbi-Moyale highway, told CRI the road will be completed in June.

The TAH, which is also known as the "Trans-Africa" Corridor, started from Cairo in Egypt to Cape Town in South Africa and originated in the early 1970s. It has been supported by the African Union and the African Development Bank (ADB).
