Description
The Muhuru Bay-Sori-Mbita lakeshore road project involves upgrading the scenic but deteriorated road running along the shores of Lake Victoria. The road connects fishing and trading communities along the lake from Muhuru Bay in Migori County through Sori Beach to Mbita town in Homa Bay County. The project is critical for the fishing industry as it improves access to fish landing sites and processing facilities. The road also supports tourism development along the lake and connects communities that have historically been isolated.
