As construction of the Nairobi Expressway, a major infrastructure development in Kenya, nears completion, beautification work that will make it environmentally friendly is unfolding.

James Macharia, the country’s transport cabinet secretary, said last month that China Road and Bridge Corporation, the contractor, will plant trees and flowers along the 27-kilometer expressway in an effort to restore flora.

The exercise, which has already begun, entails planting flowers including wall creepers using a process known as aquaponic vertical farming. This is expected to open green spaces to compensate for the loss of vegetation as a result of the expressway’s construction.
