PROJECT FEATURED IN:

Garissa - Isiolo Highway

The project comprises the inter-regional highway network of the LAPSSET (Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport) Corridor, which has road components connecting the Lamu Port (Kenya) through Garissa and Isiolo to Nadapal across the border in South Sudan.

DESCRIPTION

The design for the LAPSSET higway components provide for a heavy transportation route from Lamu to South Sudan through Garissa, Isiolo, Kisima and Nginyang to meet the existing Kenya - South Sudan road at Lokichar, from where it continues to the border at Nadapal. The Lamu - Isiolo - Lokichar - Lodwar - Nadapal section measures about 1,300 km. The Northern Branch of the corridor to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia is the Isiolo- Moyale section which is also part of LAPSSET Corridor road. Construction on this section has been completed and the One Stop Border Post (OSBP) construction is currently underway.

The project is divided into four sections as follows:

  • Lamu - Garissa  Road -263km
  • Garissa-Isiolo Road – 305km
  • Isiolo – Nginyang Road – 212km
  • Nginyang – Lokichar – Nadapal – 533km

NB: The Government of Kenya is currently working on the re-alignment of Isiolo-Nginyang-Lokichar Section). The new aligned section takes the route: Isiolo-Lareta-Maralal-Baragoi-Lokori-Lokichar). Other sections remain the same.
