The Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) has announced a nationwide tender for the tarmacking and upgrading of hundreds of rural roads. The official notice, dated October 7, 2025, lists projects across all counties, most of which are aimed at upgrading roads to bitumen standards.
Over 500 rural road segments and bridges are part of this large-scale infrastructure initiative, "Connecting Devolved Kenya," which aims to enhance rural connectivity and support economic growth. Kiambu County leads the rollout, followed by Murang’a, Homa Bay, and Siaya. Other counties with significant allocations include Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, and Migori.
KeRRA has invited eligible contractors to submit bids through its official e-procurement system. Funding for the projects comes from sources such as the Exchequer and the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), with a focus on boosting agricultural value chains and job creation.
The plan aligns with the government’s Vision 2030 and Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, aiming to improve rural mobility and economic development.
