The A23 was a primary road formed during the colonial era, specifically after the 1950 classification of roads for British territories in Africa, it originally ran from Voi in Taita Taveta County to the city of Arusha. The section of the A23 in Tanzania was transformed into the current T15 following the implementation of the TANROADS system while the section in Kenya was converted into the A6 following the 2016 highways reclassification.
