Rironi–Naivasha Road Section To Open For Motorists In August
Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir told the Senate that works on the Rironi to Naivasha stretch are nearing completion and motorists will be allowed to use the road from August.
NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 12 – The first phase of the Rironi–Mau Summit Road is set to open to traffic in August, with completion of the Rironi–Naivasha section expected by June.
Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir told the Senate that works on the Rironi to Naivasha stretch are nearing completion and motorists will be allowed to use the road from August.
The expansion project has been divided into two sections. The China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) in partnership with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is handling the Nairobi–Naivasha–Gilgil and Nairobi–Maai Mahiu–Naivasha (A8 South) segments, while Shandong Hi-Speed Road and Bridge International (SDRBI) is undertaking the Gilgil–Mau Summit section.
Once complete, motorists will pay Sh8 per kilometre on the upgraded dual carriageway, a rate lower than the Sh10 earlier proposed under a previous plan. The 175km Nairobi–Nakuru–Mau Summit project is estimated to cost about Sh90 billion and is scheduled for completion by June 2027.
