On Sunday, July 14th, 2019, motorists on Ngong Road can expect a 12-hour traffic disruption as the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) continues its expansion of the road into a dual carriageway.
The disruption, which will last from 7am to 8pm, is part of the ongoing expansion of Ngong Road between Prestige Plaza and Dagoreti Corner.
According to Kura, motorists are advised to use the diversion access as indicated in the sketch to avoid the disruption.
The expansion of the road, which is being done by Chinese contractor Quinjian International Group (K) Limited, is expected to be completed by the end of the year and will cost Sh2 billion.
Phase one of the project, which entailed dualing about 2.57km of the road from the Kenya National Library to the junction at the Kilimani Ring Road, has already been completed.
The 9.8-kilometre road, which starts from Dagoretti Corner to Karen Shopping Centre, has been under construction since last August.
