Motorists in Nairobi are set to face a four-day challenge as a section of Mbagathi Way will be closed from Friday, December 27 to Monday, December 30.
The closure, announced by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura), is to enable contractors to demolish the Mbagathi Way footbridge and pave way for a new modern one.
Motorists using adjacent routes, including Mtongwe Road and parts of Ngong Road, are expected to be affected, with fears of traffic snarl-ups.
However, Kura has advised motorists to follow the provided diversions to minimize inconveniences.
Those heading to Ngong Town via Ngong Road will proceed up to City Mortuary Roundabout, exit at the roundabout to join Ngong Road again, and then drive up to Muchai Drive diversion.
Motorists using Valley Road and those from Kenyatta National Hospital are also advised to use the same navigations provided by the authority.
“Motorists are requested to use alternative routes as directed by traffic marshals. We apologize for any inconveniences that may be caused as we endeavor to provide efficient urban network,” said Kura in the notice.
