“All procedures for the construction of the dual carriageway are complete and the works will begin by mid-May,” he added.

The project will stretch across 22km of the road, which has seen several accidents – instigating the government’s decision to take action and build the dual road.

The costruction will include expanding the road, designing emergency runway truck rumps, guardrails repairs, and warning and information sign installation.

The land travels between Sobea, Salgaa, Migaa, Sachangwan, and Mua Summit, with Jolly Farm and Mkinyai in the area.
