Feature: Chinese-built expressway cuts commute times in Nairobi, delighting suburban residents


NAIROBI, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- "I can't believe it takes me 30 minutes from Kitengela to the office in Upper Hill during peak time and I only board one commuter bus," said Bella Mutinda, a resident of Kitengela, a suburb about 32 km south of the city center of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

Like many other office workers living in suburbs south of Nairobi, including Kitengela, Mlolongo and Athi River, Mutinda no longer has to wake up early in the morning and rush to her office.
