Nairobi Expressway Announces Week-Long Traffic Disruption on This Section

Moja Expressway Company has announced a traffic disruption on a section of the Nairobi Expressway for a period of one week.

In a notice on Saturday, May 25, the company disclosed that disruption will be experienced at the Eastern Bypass Entrance due to maintenance works being carried out there.

“The Nairobi Expressway is undergoing essential maintenance works at Eastern Bypass Entrance, K10+900meters towards town (Near Imaara Mall). This will continue for 24hrs every day from today and will be completed within a week's time, ” Moja Expressway stated.

Motorists using the expressway were advised to plan their journey accordingly to ensure their own safety and the safety of others and drive cautiously around the section of maintenance.

“To ensure your safety and comfort, please plan your journey accordingly to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Please drive with caution around the area of maintenance,” the notice further read.

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.
