Inside The First Model Of The Rironi Mau Summit Highway

The Kenya National Highways Authority has released a model of the Rironi Mau Summit Highway. The model gives Kenyans a clear picture of how the major road project will look when finished.

The highway is a key part of the Northern Corridor. It connects Nairobi to Nakuru and serves as a gateway to western Kenya and neighbouring countries.

The model shows important features such as multi level interchanges dual carriageways weighbridges and urban connections. It highlights sections like the Lanet and Gilgil interchanges as well as Nakuru City.

The Lanet interchange is being rebuilt to reduce heavy traffic congestion. It will connect the main highway with roads to Lanet and Dundori areas.

The project is designed to ease traffic on one of Kenya's busiest routes. It is expected to reduce travel time improve road safety and facilitate movement of goods and passengers.

The Rironi Mau Summit Highway is estimated to cost 170 billion shillings. It will operate as a toll road for 30 years under a public private partnership arrangement.

Motorists will pay a toll of eight shillings per kilometre. This means a full trip from Nairobi to Nakuru will cost about 1112 shillings.

The project is expected to be completed before July 2027. It is one of the major infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving connectivity in the country.

The model was displayed at the Nakuru ASK show ground. It has generated interest among the public and stakeholders in the transport sector.

This highway is part of larger plans to modernise Kenya's road network. It will help support economic growth by making transport faster and safer.
