Where Kenya’s selected major road works stood in December 2025

Longer projects did not all have similar progress

The 225.5 km Kibwezi to Mutomo to Kitui package was at 89.7% completion, with an estimated cost of KSh 21.55 billion. Garissa to Isiolo was 150 km and at 50.3% completion. Kulamawe to Modogashe was 128 km and at 28.1%. These were separate project records at the same reporting date. Source 1

Adjacent coastal projects were at different stages

The 13.3 km Mombasa to Kwa Jomvu package was at 94.9%, while the 30 km Kwa Jomvu to Mariakani package was at 24.9%. The Mombasa to Mtwapa package was at 44%, and Mtwapa to Kwa Kadzengo to Kilifi was at 67.5%. A single corridor can contain multiple contracts with separate progress figures. Source 1

Several linked northern sections were early in their reported work

The table records Wajir to Tarbaj at 5.5%, Tarbaj to Kotulo at 14.7% and Isiolo to Kulamawe at 38.2%. The estimated costs of the first two were approximately KSh 9.11 billion and KSh 9.05 billion respectively. Compare these as contract packages with separate scope and lengths. Source 1

The reported cost is an estimate for the full package

The estimates in the table do not show money already paid. Likewise, the reported completion percentage does not specify the exact kilometres open to traffic. Some packages include bridges, interchanges or other infrastructure that cannot be evaluated by dividing the entire estimated cost by road length. Source 1 Source 2
