Ten international firms have expressed interest for the construction of the Dualling of Nairobi - Nakuru Road PPP project.
The 10 responded to the request for qualification issued by Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) on 9th November 2016. The Bidding Process consists of two stages: Pre-Qualification Stage and Bid Stage for Pre-Qualified Bidders.
The Nairobi - Nakuru Road (A104) project involves the dualization and operation of the 157 km from Rironi to Mau Summit into a four-lane dual carriageway highway. It will also include the Gitaru- Rironi section, whose reconstruction has just commenced under James Gichuru-Rironi Road Project.
The concession for the road is planned for a period of 30 years. In March 2015, we reported that the government was seeking interest from foreign financiers for this project and the Mombasa-Nairobi highway expansion PPP project. The total investment for both projects is estimated at US$1.3 billion.
The Nairobi- Nakuru-Mau Summit road is part of the Northern Corridor and among the most important roads in the region, transporting most of the westbound cargo from the Port of Mombasa and the Capital Nairobi.
Efficient transportation on the road is anticipated to drastically reduce the cost of transport which will then give rise to huge trade opportunities along the entire corridor.
