The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has unveiled the full scope of a proposed 180-kilometre highway that is expected to transform the economic and transport landscape of Western Kenya. The mega infrastructure project will traverse five counties - Busia, Siaya, Kisumu, Homa Bay, and Migori - and is estimated to cost Ksh70 billion.
According to KeNHA Nyanza Regional Director Julius MakOderoh, the road will be one of the largest infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the region.
It is set to open up parts of the country that are currently underserved, with many roads still in poor condition.
The road will start in Bunyala, on the outskirts of Busia town, along the A12 (Mau Summit-Kericho-Busia Road).
