Months after receiving financing from the World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has commenced the construction of the Isiolo-Mandera road.
The 749-kilometre road, whose construction fully commenced this week, is set to cost Ksh85 billion and is expected to connect four counties in the region, including Wajir, Garissa, Mandera, and Isiolo.
Footage showed ongoing road construction works, with engineers currently on site to oversee the project implementation process and ensure it adheres to the plans and specifications.
The construction of the highway is set to be carried out in four phases, with the first phase being the 200-kilometre route from Isiolo-Kulamawe-Modogashe, currently 40 per cent complete. An undated picture of Hassan Kulow Maalim's convoy in Mandera County.
