Sector B was a sector in the city of New Mombasa, Kenya. It was one of the city's four primary sections, the others being Sector A, the City Centre, and the Docks. Sector B was located at the heart of the city's industrial zone, partially within the Kilindini district, and many industrial buildings such as Tterrab Industries were located there. The highway New Mombasa 105 East led to the sector through the Mtangwe Underpass, a tunnel with its other entrance located at the end of Mombasa's suspension bridge.[1] According to the sign on the Old Mombasa side of the New Mombasa bridge, Sector B is 1km away from that part of the bridge.[2]
