The Nairobi Expressway barriers at Mlolongo toll station have been destroyed by angry protesters.
Mojo Expressway, the company managing the expressway, confirmed the destruction and advised motorists to seek alternative entry and exit.
"We regret to inform you that a section of the Nairobi Expressway toll services has been temporarily halted at Mlolongo, Syokimau, and SGR Toll Stations due to the ongoing demonstrations. Efforts are underway to restore normalcy to the road," Mojo Expressway said.

"For your safety, we urge all motorists plying the Westlands-Mlolongo route to exit from JKIA and Mlolongo-Westlands bound motorists may safely join the road from JKIA Toll Station."
"In case of an incident or accident, call the 24/7 rescue hotline on 0111 039888," the company advised.
Video seen by Nairobi Leo showed the protester pulling the barriers, a move that jeopardises operations of the expressway.
National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah has condemned the destruction and said:
"This madness by all means must stop. Is this a peaceful protest/procession?"
