“The eleven kilometer cabro road will serve as a bypass that will create alternative route from the highway and ultimately ease the traffic in the town,” he said.
At the same time Kilowua revealed that plans are at an advanced stage to rehabilitate the 12km stretch between deliverance-railway road at a cost of Ksh 200M with start date set for early next month.
