The African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a $228 million loan to Kenya for upgrading of 172-kilometre road, linking the towns of Isebania on the Tanzanian border and Ahero, an axis located southeast of Lake Victoria.
The road rehabilitation is expected to boost socio-economic development and trade between Kenya and Tanzania, reducing travel time and transport costs. The new highway will have special service roads at commercial centres to boost uptake of goods.
