The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has initiated the process to bring a private investor onto the Nairobi-Mombasa Road through a public-private partnership (PPP) model.

• KeNHA is seeking a consultant for feasibility studies and transaction advisory services, a process expected to take 15 months.
• The consultancy will assess the viability and structure for expanding the 461-kilometer A8 highway into a minimum four-lane dual carriageway.
• This move follows the recent cancellation of the Ksh468 billion "Usahihi" Expressway project by the Treasury's PPP Committee.

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has extended the bid submission deadline for Phase II of Nairobi's Ksh10 billion smart traffic project. This expansion aims to integrate CCTVs and e-police units into city junctions for real-time traffic monitoring.

• The project is funded by an 83.8 million USD (Ksh10 billion) loan from South Korea's EDCF.
• Key organizations involved are KURA and prospective bidders.
• The deadline for proposal submissions has been moved to August 19, 2026, with a bid security of Ksh129 million required.

The busy Isebania-Sirare Highway has been closed following the collapse of the Migori Bridge, a critical crossing in Migori County. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, leaving a significant hole in the bridge's surface.

• The collapse disrupts a key transport link on the Kenya-Tanzania trade corridor.
• The bridge falls under the jurisdiction of the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).
• This is not the bridge's first issue; it was previously shut in March due to flooding.
