The Nairobi Expressway Traffic Updates

AS AT NOVEMBER 8, 2021

Construction of the Nairobi Expressway continues to make good progress with completion status currently standing at 75%. The progress of the construction of the operation and monitoring centre is now at 98.7%. This is set to be completed ahead of the main road works.

This centre will help manage and maintain the road once it is operational. It is hoped that more staff will be employed beyond the current engagement.

The project financing and implementing company, Moja Expressway Company, has so far employed over 4,000 Kenyans across different cadres besides using locally sources tons of construction materials required for the project.

Even as the civil works are ongoing, traffic management remains a critical component of project implementation to ensure relative ease of movement and safety for all road users. To this end, various interventions have been put in place.

A number of sections of the Road have already been reconstructed and open to use by motorists. These include:

1. Mlolongo Weighbridge – KAPA Industries

2. Gateway Mall – Hilton Gardens

3. Sameer Park – Southern Bypass

4. David Osieli Road – Aga Khan School

The sections of the Expressway where traffic congestion could still be experienced, include areas currently under intervention as indicated below:

1. GM area where a new footbridge has been installed and the old one taken down

2. Bunyala Round About – University Way where construction is still ongoing

The onset of rains may cause disruption to the normal traffic flow. Motorists are, therefore, urged to continue exercising caution and road courtesy as that will help manage traffic better.
