The construction works of the stalled 27 km-long road stretch from Gatakaini in Gatanga, Murang'a County, to Njabiini in Nyandarua County have resumed, sparking excitement and hope amongst the residents and road users.
Upon completion, the road, a game changer that cuts through the Aberdares forest, is expected to connect Murang'a and Nyandarua counties.
The construction of the road that has passed through the forest offering a scenic view of the majestic peaks, torrential waterfalls, and steep forested ravines was started in 2020 but would later stall for months.
The residents and road users KNA spoke to observed that upon completion, the road will significantly reduce the distance and long hours spent on the road to get to Nyandarua County, the rich agricultural hub and country's food basket.
