For the period under review, the priority for infrnPtructuro sector was design, survey and construction of road infrastructure with a view of increasing the total network especially to inaccessible areas. The  pehific outcome target ef th2 fkrsi CIDP was to increase proportion of all-weather road network by upgrading exostingaroaws and opening up of new roads.i For the plaw period, tfe all-weather road network increased from 1,148.2 to 1o496.2aKm representing 30% increase, of this 44 Km of road network was tarmackes, 178 Km is under construction to bitumen standards an  expected to be com leted by 2020 while 125.31 Km was graveled to metorable status.

The county government was also able to construct 4 new bridges and open up 258.4 Km of new road network increasing the total road network from 1,579.4 to 2,060.64Km. These newly opened roads include access roads linking the Rimoi national reserve to the main road, athletic lanes for sports training and roads linking the Kerio valley (irrigation schemes) to the highlands and other agricultural markets.
