flag A Chinese-Kenyan consortium won a key Kenyan toll road bid, advancing after the PPP Committee's approval on Oct. 9, 2025.

flag A Chinese-Kenyan consortium led by China Road and Bridge Corporation and Kenya’s NSSF has advanced to the next stage in bidding for a Sh200 billion toll road project, following approval from Kenya’s PPP Committee on October 9, 2025. flag The project involves dualing 175 kilometers of the Rironi-Mau Summit road and rehabilitating 58 kilometers of the Rironi-Mai Mahiu-Naivasha stretch, with tolls set at KSh 8 per kilometer and adjusted annually. flag The consortium, already operating major roads in Kenya through PPPs, will recover costs over 30 years. flag Two other bidders were excluded. flag The deal follows the cancellation of a prior French-led PPP due to high toll concerns and Sh6 billion in compensation. flag Despite traffic, the Nairobi Expressway remains unprofitable, raising questions about PPP sustainability.
