The governments of Kenya and South Sudan have entered into a joint course where they will undertake the rehabilitation and upgrade project of the Eldoret-Juba road to international highway standards.
The road, dubbed Kenya-Sudan Link Road runs from Kitale in Kenya to Juba in S.Sudan.It is one of the major corridors identified in the Northern Corridor Transport Improvement Project (NCTIP).The section of this road from Lokichar to Juba form part of the Lamu Port Southern Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor (Lapsset) which runs down to the port of Mombasa. It also forms part of Corridor 3 of the East African Community Road Network from the Northern border of Tanzania at Isebania through Kisumu,Kitale,Lodwar and Lokichogio to Nadapal and finally in Juba.
The road section between Lodwar-Likichogio-Nadapal has been identified as a top priority link and is to be rehabilitated and upgraded to trunk road standard. The lack of regular maintenance has been faulted as the main cause of accelerated deterioration of the road.
The 960km road upgrade valued at $1 billion will be funded by the World Bank.The project is considered critical to the opening up of North Western region of Kenya as well as restoration and development of S.Sudan’s economy. It will also play a key role in enhancing regional economic integration.
