The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has announced a six-month closure of
a section of Links Road in Nyali, Mombasa County, starting from Friday, August
1, 2025, to Friday, January 30, 2026.
The closure is to allow for major construction
works aimed at resolving long-standing flooding and drainage problems that
often affect that part of the road.
In its statement, KURA urged motorists to
exercise caution when approaching the affected section and to follow all traffic
signs and directions.
Police officers and traffic marshals
will be deployed to guide motorists and ensure smooth flow.
Road
users have been advised to use alternative routes as indicated in the provided
traffic management plan.
The agency apologised for any inconvenience caused and reaffirmed its
commitment to transforming urban mobility through sustainable and efficient road
networks.
KURA is a state agency mandated to manage, develop, rehabilitate, and
maintain all public roads in urban areas across the country, excluding national
roads.
It plays a key role in the planning and improvement of road infrastructure
within cities and municipalities to enhance mobility and urban connectivity.
K URA currently oversees a road network spanning approximately 4,625 km,
comprising both paved and unpaved roads within urban areas.
With its broad presence and strategic mandate, KURA plays a pivotal role in transforming urban mobility, driving socio-economic development, and enhancing the overall quality of life for citizens across the Republic of Kenya.
