Kenya Urban Roads Authority has announced traffic disruption on the Eastern bypass.
In a notice to Kenyans, Kura said the traffic disruption will last three days.
"We wish to notify the general public that there will be traffic disruption along Eastern Bypass from 6 am Monday, January 30 to February 1, 6 pm,” the notice reads in part.
The disruption has been occasioned by the planned laying of the final surface dressing at the section between Embakasi Barracks and the China Roads and Bridges Corporation (CRBC) site camp.
Kura said the stretch from China Roads and Bridges Corporation (CRBC) site camp to the Embakasi barracks heading towards Mombasa Road will be affected.

This means that the outbound lane would be shared by motorists along the affected section.
Traffic marshals and police will be deployed on-site to guide motorists to enable a smooth flow of traffic.
Motorists plying the route have been asked to exercise more caution.
“Kindly bear with the situation as we endeavour to enhance urban mobility," Kura further said.
The Sh12.5 billion project contract was handed to China Communication Construction Company.
The expansion of the road is part of 11 infrastructure projects that the Kenyan government delegation showcased to global investors during the two-day Belt and Road Forum for International Co-operation in Beijing, China, in May 2017.
Others include the expansion of both the Southern and Northern bypasses
