The development which includes reconstruction of road pavements to attain a 7m carriageway width with 2m shoulders on each side, construction of bridges, culverts and other drainage infrastructure will be completed in 36 months from the day of commencement.

The Kenyan Government secured a US$ 500m loan form the World Bank to help finance the construction project. The terms of the credit were negotiated and secured through the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.

Upgrading of the EARTTDFP well known as the South Sudan Link Development Corridor, will transform lives and improve the movement of goods and people along Lokichar-Nadapal/Nakodok, part of the Eldoret-Nadapal/Nakodok road in the north western part of Kenya in particular and to enhance connectivity between Kenya and her neighboring countries hence increase the economy of the country.
