In the notice issued on Monday, June 2, KeNHA said the affected area is near the entrance of the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) Camp.
"The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify the public that a section of the Nairobi Southern Bypass near the entrance of the CRBC Camp, opposite the Nairobi National Park, will experience a temporary traffic disruption," the notice read.
