In the recent weeks, the Nairobi Expressway has been heavily affected by flooding caused by the heavy rains experienced in the country.
The flooding damaged sections of the road prompting Moja Expressway to issue traffic disruption alerts in order to ensure the sections were repaired.
This comes at a time when Kenya secured $3.6 billion (Sh477 billion) in funding from the US for the construction of the 440-kilometer Nairobi-Mombasa Usahihi Expressway.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) signed the Sh477 billion agreement with Everstrong Capital LLC authorizing the full development rights to Everstrong Capital and its partners.
The investment of Sh477 billion in the project will be led by American Development Finance Institutions and significant investments from Kenyan private sector investors and pension funds.
