Traders, transporters and travellers are banking on the ongoing construction of the Lamu-Garsen road to boost security, business as well as various economic activities.

Transport on the road has been disrupted following the imposition of night travel. This has significantly curtailed a range of businesses. However, the construction of the 135-kilometre road is raising renewed hope that things will soon return to normalcy.
