Plans to upgrade the 178-kilometre Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau-Summit highway to a four-lane carriageway have received a major boost after the African Development Bank approved funding of close to Sh18 billion.
The construction, financed under the government’s First Mover Public-Private Partnership (PPP) programme, is expected to take three years to complete.
According to the bank's bulletin released on July 17, 2022, to newsrooms, the existing highway will be transformed into a four-lane carriageway and the 57.8km two-lane A8 South, from Rironi to Naivasha, will be strengthened and maintained over a period of 30 years.
