Motorists plying the Rironi-Nakuru-Mau Summit highway will pay for the upcoming dual carriageway.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced that once the project is complete and open for use, it will take motorists more than 26 years to pay for the road.
KeNHA said the construction of the 175-kilometre dual carriageway is set to begin later this year and will be complete in 42 months.
Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui yesterday held a meeting with officials from KeNHA and the contractor who are currently conducting an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment study.

Motorists using the Nakuru-Nairobi highway will pay toll fees for up to 30 years once its dual upgrade is completed.
The dualling will be part of the 175-kilometre upgrade which will start at Rironi, proceed to Nakuru town, and terminate at the Mau Summit. The dual carriageway is being undertaken at a cost of Ksh160 Billion.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) disclosed that a private investor who was contracted for the project will set up toll stations where motorists will pay for using the road.
