President William Ruto has announced that the government will begin construction of the 87-kilometre Kamandura-Mai Mahiu-Narok Road in October this year, in a bid to ease traffic and enhance connectivity from Limuru in Kiambu County to Nairobi.
Speaking during a Sunday service at PCEA Joshua Matenjwa Memorial Church in Limuru, Kiambu County, Ruto said the road will run from Limuru to Naivasha and eventually to Nakuru, with plans to extend it to Malaba.
He noted that the project will form part of the 140-kilometre Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit dual carriageway, which is currently in the tendering and funding stage.
The dual carriageway is expected to ease congestion along one of Kenya's busiest transport corridors. "In October, I will be here to begin the construction of this road from here to Naivasha and finally to Nakuru, from where we will extend it to Malaba," the President said.
