KURA Transforms Gitugi with New 1.4 Km Road, Boosting Connectivity and Economic Growth

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has completed a critical 1.4-kilometer urban road project in Gitugi, Murang’a County, significantly enhancing connectivity and access to essential socio-economic services. The newly constructed MTN-KAG-GROGON-JASAKA Road marks a turning point for the local community, improving mobility, boosting economic activity, and raising the quality of life for thousands of residents.

For years, Gitugi residents faced challenges due to poor road conditions, which worsened during the rainy season, making access to schools, hospitals, and markets difficult. The completion of the road eliminates these obstacles, ensuring smoother transport for agricultural produce, better access to markets, and more efficient delivery of public services.

The project, which was delivered on time, has received praise from local leaders and residents alike. Farmers can now easily transport their produce to urban markets, while small businesses have the opportunity to reach a broader customer base. Additionally, the improved infrastructure is expected to boost tourism in Murang’a County by making scenic and cultural sites more accessible to visitors, further stimulating the local economy.

KURA’s efforts underscore the government’s commitment to grassroots development, demonstrating how strategic infrastructure investments can uplift communities. With better roads, Gitugi is poised for new business opportunities, increased investments, and job creation, setting the stage for sustained economic growth in the region.

The MTN-KAG-GROGON-JASAKA Road is a clear example of the transformative power of targeted infrastructure projects, showcasing KURA’s dedication to fostering long-term development and improving lives across Kenya. Residents are optimistic that the enhanced road network will continue to drive prosperity and opportunity for years to come.
