KeRRA gives update on 78 km Narok road project
By Dan Kauna, August 5, 2026The Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) has shared a progress report on the ongoing road upgrades across Narok County, revealing that 22 kilometres of the planned 78-kilometre project are now fully tarmacked.
In an update published on August 5, 2026, the roads body shared photos of heavy rollers and construction crews laying asphalt along key agricultural routes connecting local villages to major trading centres.
Confirming the milestone on social media, the state agency noted that work on the ground is moving ahead steadily.
KeRRA posted, “Leo we are cruising through Narok County, where the 78Km Mulot-Sogoo-Tendwet-Saptet & Sogoo-Ololunga road and Shartuka Njipship-Olchobosei-Gorgor road project is taking shape with 22Km already complete.”
Opening up agricultural hubs in Narok
The project covers several key constituencies in Narok County, including Narok South, Narok West, Kilgoris, and Emurua Dikirr.
Specific stretches under construction include the primary corridor from Mulot through Sogoo and Tendwet to Saptet, the link connecting Sogoo to Ololunga, and the section serving Shartuka, Njipship, Olchobosei, and Gorgor.
For years, local farmers in these fertile areas faced major delays transporting fresh agricultural produce to market, particularly during heavy rains when dirt roads turned into thick mud.
The ongoing bitumen upgrade is designed to turn these earth tracks into reliable all-weather roads, linking food producers directly to market hubs in Mulot, Ololung’a, and Narok Town.
Easing transport and travel across the region
Besides helping farmers get produce to market without delays, the completed tarmac offers welcome relief to matatu operators, boda boda riders, and everyday commuters.
Smoother road surfaces mean fewer vehicle breakdowns, lower maintenance costs, and significantly shorter trip times across the county.
Using its official campaign hashtag #KeRRAikoWorks, the agency promised further progress updates as road paving continues across other sub-counties.
