As of November 3, 2021, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a traffic advisory ahead of Mashujaa Day, affecting the flow of traffic on Mombasa Road and Waiyaki Way.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution, especially during the rainy season, as the onset of rains may cause disruptions to the normal traffic flow. KeNHA has noted that the rainy season may affect the normal flow of traffic.
According to KeNHA, traffic disruptions will continue in some areas, especially along Mombasa Road, due to the ongoing installation of a new footbridge in the General Motors area. The Bunyala Roundabout will also experience some disruption due to the active construction status of the Nairobi Expressway.
However, KeNHA has set new dates for the reopening of some closed sections of the road affected by Nairobi Expressway construction. The Haile Selassie to University Way Roundabout is set to be reopened for motorists starting December 15, with the elevated section along that route standing at 87.7% complete.
KeNHA has assured motorists that the construction of the Expressway is in top gear and everything is being done to complete the project as scheduled. The company building the state-of-the-art road project has so far employed 4,000 people.
