Kenya - Rumuruti - Maralal road study

The present intervention is related to the Rumuruti - Maralal Road Study. This route serves a large administrative and social region, and is used to transport agricultural products and freight to and from the region. The completion of this study should provide an economic assessment of the costs and benefits resulting from the asphalting of the Rumuruti - Maralal road and any related work on feeder roads that can be identified as being closely associated with the project. An improved road reduces vehicle operating costs, will result in lower transport costs and an improvement in the level of transport services. First, carriers should benefit from this situation and given the competitive nature of the trucking industry, most of these benefits are quickly shared among transportation service users. The project consists of: (stage 1) Feasibility Study and (stage 2) Detailed engineering design study and preparation of tender documents.
