Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has revealed that ground breaking for the dualling of the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway will begin by the end of August this year.
While speaking before the Senate on Wednesday, July 16, Chirchir noted that the groundbreaking would signal the beginning of construction works around the 175-kilometer A8 highway. "We plan to undertake the dualing of the Rironi-Nakuru and Nakuru-Eldoret highways under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) process," CS Chirchir stated. "We have gotten several concession proponents, and they are currently going through the development phase.
We expect to break ground before the end of August, if all goes well," he added.
