This is as a result of increase of construction traffic for Kendu Bay- Homa Bay Project; the irrigation works for Oluch-Kimira Small Holder Irrigation Scheme Project and Phase II of the Sondu Miriu-Sangoro Hydro Electric Power Station. (b) My Ministry, through the Kenya National Highways Authority made a budgetary allocation of Kshs784,242,687.20 out of which Kshs783,644,949.73 was spent on the rehabilitation of the road. The scope of works and specifications were as follows:- Site clearance, earth works, excavation to spoil of contaminated material, scarifying existing pavement layers comprising of surfacing, Graded Crushed Stones (GCS) base and sub-base process, improve with lime/ cement to form a 200mm thick layer for sub base for carriageway and shoulders, provision of 150mm thick layer of cement/lime, improved natural gravel as base for carriageway and shoulders; and, application of double seal of 14/20 mm and 6/10mm chippings using 80/100 penetration grade bitumen cut back.
