Addis
Ababa, 9 November 2014 (WIC) - The tarmacking of the main road linking
Kenya with Ethiopia is expected to be completed by end of next year,
Kenyan official said.
Marsabit Governor Ukur Yattani said the 505-kilometre
Isiolo-Marsabit-Moyale road was 60 per cent complete and that work was
continuing well.
“Construction is ongoing. By the end of next year, we will have
connected Addis Ababa to Nairobi on tarmac road, a thing that will
change the economy of this place,” Mr Yattani, whose county is the
largest and occupies 15 per cent of Kenya’s landmass, said.
The road is expected to cost $517 million (Sh46 billion) and is
funded by the African Development Bank, the European Union and the Kenya
Government.
The Governor said the road would ease travel to Nairobi, which used
to take four days but has since been reduced to one.
