"Sincere apologies for the inconvenience cost and thank you for choosing the Nairobi Expressway," the notice added.
This comes days after the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) announced the closure of multiple roads in Nairobi for between one week and eight months.
In a notice on Monday, June 8, KURA informed the public that it would close a section of the Kenyatta Avenue, Valley Road and Jakaya Kikwete Road between June 12, 2026, and February 12, 2027.
The authority explained that the road closure would allow room for bridge construction works along the section of the road.
"This is to allow the contractor to undertake bridge construction works while ensuring the safety of road users and enhancing minimal traffic disruptions," the notice read in part.
KURA urged motorists to use alternative routes and follow the guidance of traffic marshals and police officers, and apologised for the inconveniences caused.
It explained that the construction works are part of the government's plan to transform urban mobility.
Additionally, KURA Director General Sila Kinoti informed the general public that a section of Haile Selassie Avenue would be partially closed from Friday, June 12, to Monday, October 12.
Kinoti explained that the four-month closure would pave the way for the installation of a bridge along the section of the road between the Social Health Authority (SHA) Headquarters and Madison Insurance House.
