That road is called Dongo Kundu bypass. It is under construction.

Yes it will. It is a massive project!
"The road starts in the neighborhood called Miritini, on the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway, approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi), northwest of the central business district of Mombasa.[2] From there it will loop around the western edge of Mombasa International Airport to end at a neighborhood called Mache at the water's edge, west of the airport. From Mache, several bridges will carry the highway across the Port Reitz Bay to Dongo Kundu on the south-side of the bay. From Dongo Kundu the highway continues in a southeasterly direction until it ends at Ng’ombeni, on the Malindi–Bagamoyo Highway. The entire bypass highway measures approximately 17.5 kilometres (11 mi).[3]"
Here is a video of the scope of the project.

DONGO KUNDU
Very few people are aware of this grand project. It has been overshadowed by the SGR, but it is set to change Mombasa for the better.

Whaat! This is massive, it seems Mombasa is getting a bigger share than even Nairobi, Port Reitz Road, Dongo Kundu Bypass, Dongo Kundu SEZ, Mombasa Port, Mombasa Road Mirirtini Dualing, This place is going to be dope more than Nairobi at this rate. By the way, there are two highways on your first image, one on the upper side of the Mombasa Station and the one in foreground which you have stated as the Dongo Kundu project, which one is this in the upper part??DONGO KUNDU

I also long for the day I'll take a train from Nairobi to Dar in under 12 hours. Doing nothing but enjoying the beautiful East African plains.
Let us hope for the best.
