This archive item revisits the Outering Road project in Eastlands Nairobi, which had been presented as a fix for the area’s traffic nightmare. Instead, the Taj Mall junction emerged as one of the most frustrating points for motorists using the corridor.

The original report says the road was hailed as a solution to the snarl-ups that had long affected Eastlands. But the promised relief did not fully materialize at the junction, where congestion continued to define the daily experience for road users.

Nyakundi Report notes that the source material is a short video-led archive item and does not provide additional detail on the causes, the agencies involved, or any official response. What remains clear from the record is that the Outering Road project was linked to expectations of smoother traffic flow, while the Taj Mall junction was still described as a problem area.
