KURA to rehabilitate 65km of bypasses and link roads in Kisii County

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has embarked on a plan to rehabilitate 65km of by passes and major link roads in Kisii County.

Speaking during a courtesy call on Governor James Ongwae, a technical team from KURA led by Eng. Justus Onyinkwa announced that preliminary and detailed engineering designs were being developed before the project begins.

The roads to be rehabilitated include Suneka-Kiogoro bypass; Kiogoro-Kegati bypass; Nyakoe-Kegati bypass; Suneka-Nyakoe bypass and major linkroads within Kisii County. Others are Nyamache-Nyangusu and Nyacheki-Nyamache bypasses.

“The goal of the project is to improve traffic conditions and eliminate congestion within Kisii Town and its outskirts. Overall, the project roads are to attain a sustainable and safe road network that supports economic growth and improvement of living standards,” said Eng. Onyinkwa.

Governor Ongwae welcomed the development saying the dilapidated condition of the bypasses and major link roads in Kisii County had adversely affected the local economy.

“When the President visited Kisii, I did ask that these roads which are under the National Government be rehabilitated to improve traffic conditions in our urban areas. KURA should hasten the rehabilitation work because our people have suffered for long yet the County cannot touch these roads as they are under the National Government,” said Ongwae.

Other link roads within Kisii Town set for the facelift include Nyambera- Kanyimbo, Daraja Moja- Nyamataro, Erera- Nyanchwa junction, Mokwerero- Welcome- Matongo- MKU, Igege- Nyamonyerero- Omosocho- Bwomache, Getare- Kanyimbo, Ekenyoru- Omogonchoro, Soko Mjinga-Botori –Gesonso, Daraja Moja- Nyamataro, Erera- Nyanchwa Junction and Ufanisi- Nyakongo.

“We already have a consultant on the ground who will come up with a feasibility study, preliminary detailed engineering design, environmental and social impact study as well as tender documentation,” said Eng. Onyinkwa.

He said KURA has already committed to start rehabilitating Gesonso- Botori, Soko Mjinga, Erera ChristaMarrianne this year
