The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has unveiled a nationwide road maintenance programme set for the third quarter of the 2025/2026 financial year.
The initiative aims to improve road safety, enhance mobility, and preserve key transport routes critical for trade and regional connectivity.
Scope of the Programme
Funded through the Road Maintenance Levy Fund, the works will include:
Performance-based maintenance
Routine maintenance
Spot improvements
Over 100 road sections across Kenya will benefit, including roads in Rift Valley, Nairobi, Nyanza, Western, Central, Eastern, Coast, North Eastern, and Upper Eastern regions.
Key Roads Targeted in Nairobi
At least six major roads in Nairobi and surrounding areas have been earmarked for upgrades:
Nairobi Southern Bypass
Kikuyu-Ndenderu-Ruaka Road
Kiambu-Raini-Ndenderu Road
Njabini-Gatakaini-Thika Section
Isinya-Konza Junction
Athi River-Kyumvi Road
The works will focus on pavement repairs, drainage improvements, signage, and other safety-related upgrades, aiming to reduce congestion and improve driving conditions.
Implementation & Contractor Selection
Contractors will be selected through an open and competitive tendering process.
Pre-tender site visits are scheduled for early March.
Motorists are advised to anticipate temporary traffic disruptions, particularly on busy urban highways and bypasses.
KeNHA emphasizes that the programme is part of its ongoing effort to maintain Kenya’s critical transport infrastructure and ensure safer, smoother travel for commuters and commercial transport alike.
