[PHOTOS] Murkomen commissions Expressway Haile Selassie exit

Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen on Saturday officially commissioned the newly constructed Nairobi Expressway Haile Selassie Exit Plaza.

Murkomen said the new exit, which has five lanes, will grant motorists using the Expressway from Mlolongo, JKIA and other entry points along Mombasa Road, easy access to the Nairobi CBD, Ngong Road and Upper Hill.

He said the exit will further reduce traffic congestion from the Capital Centre to the Haile Selassie roundabout.

"This infrastructural adjustment, which has been completed within five months, signifies the responsiveness of Moja Express to public demands and their readiness to work with the government in expanding Kenya's infrastructural network," he said.

Murkomen said the government will continue working with both local and international investors and contractors to roll out more infrastructure projects under the Public-Private Partnership model.

They include the Rironi-Mau Summit road project and the Kiambu Road expansion project, among others, as a way of cutting down government expenditure on road construction and reducing public debt.

The event was attended by Roads PS Joseph Mbugua, KENHA DG Kung'u Ndung'u and Moja Express CEO Steve Zhao among others.
