Bureaucrats finally left their offices to check if actual roadwork exists. Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir visited the Rironi-Mau Summit Highway to verify that contractors like China Road and Bridge Corporation actually started digging. Teams at Rironi and Gilgil handled five kilometers each while Shandong Construction Company tackled Kariandusi.
Shandong crews also mobilized at Mau Summit to work on five kilometers there. Chirchir claimed excitement about the speed and coordination on the ground. He promised this project would create around ten thousand gigs specifically for young locals needing technical skills rather than just manual labor.
This route serves as a nightmare bottleneck for anyone driving from Mombasa toward Uganda or Rwanda. Heavy trucks and buses usually clog the road around Naivasha and Gilgil, causing endless delays. The current state guarantees accidents and misery for travelers stuck behind slow commercial vehicles.
Dualling this highway supposedly fixes the chaos and speeds up trade connections. Planners believe expanding capacity cuts costs for moving goods into the Rift Valley or Western Kenya. The government frames this upgrade as a core pillar of its economic agenda to boost logistics competitiveness.
