In a quest to find the best location for the Eldoret bypass and decongest traffic, all roads in Eldoret town are being redesigned. The Governor for Uasin Gishu County, Jackson Mandago says the re-planning is a priority as it will attract investors in the town.
Mandago said that his government would acquire more land for the expansion of key roads to be turned into dual carriageways. Those roads are: the Eldoret-Nakuru highway; the Eldoret-Webuye Highway and the Kisumu- Eldoret highway which serves the Eldoret International Airport.
Mandago says, “Surveyors are already working on the plan to establish the best location for the by-pass after the initial plan was cancelled as it was close to the town.”
The former minister for Roads, Franklin Bett had in July last year said that the Nairobi road, which was to be developed into a by-pass, would not be constructed because it was located in Eldoret town. He stated that the new bypass would pass through the Eldoret Airport.
The 2 billion bypass funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB), shows progress in achieving the infrastructural goals set for Vision 2030 despite earlier changes.
