KeNHA Announces 129km Kenya-South Sudan Highway Construction - May 2026
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced plans for the construction of a 129 km section of the Kenya-South Sudan Road Corridor, a Ksh24.39 billion project aimed at boosting regional connectivity and trade. KeNHA reopened the Iten-Kabarnet Road after it was closed for days due to a landslide near Kolol, which had disrupted traffic flow along this crucial transport corridor. The Directorate of Public Private Partnerships defended the slow construction pace of the Rironi-Mau Summit expressway, addressing public concerns about the project's progress. The Kenyan Treasury allocated Ksh 40.25 billion towards railway projects and modernization in the 2026/27 budget.
