The construction of the Sh160 billion toll highway from Nairobi to Mau Summit is expected to begin in September, Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has said, raising hope of reducing traffic congestion on the northern corridor.
The 233-kilometre contract that was awarded to a French consortium made up of Vinci Highways SAS, Meridian Infrastructure Africa Fund, and Vinci Concessions SAS last year will see the road expanded into a four-lane dual carriageway through a Public-Private Partnership model.
