The signing ceremony was held in France last week and was witnessed by presidents Uhuru Kenyatta and Emmanuel Macron.
The Rironi-Mai Mahiu–Naivasha Road serves the Naivasha Inland Container Depot.
It also serves traffic destined to Narok, south western Kenya and Northern Tanzania.
The much-awaited expansion of Rironi-Nakuru-Mau Summit road will soon become a reality after the government entered into a public private partnership (PPP) with French Consortium of Companies to build the 233-kilometre highway at a cost of Sh160 billion.
The project will be funded by private investors and French companies led by Vinci Highways/Concessions, which will design, finance, build, operate, and maintain the road for 30 years and, thereafter, transfer it back to the government.
