KeNHA

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a temporary traffic disruption at the Juja Highpoint (Centurion) section of the Thika Superhighway to allow milling and recarpeting works.

In a statement on Thursday — reiterating a public notice issued on October 31, 2025 — KeNHA said the maintenance will take place over two weekends.

The first closure will run from Saturday, November 8, 2025, to Sunday, November 9, 2025, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The second closure will occur from Saturday, November 15, 2025, to Sunday, November 16, 2025, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

During the works, both Nairobi-bound and Thika-bound traffic will be diverted to adjacent service lanes before rejoining the main carriageway.

KeNHA advised motorists to exercise caution around the affected area and to follow the traffic management plan, including directions from police officers and traffic marshals.

Earlier, on November 1, KeNHA announced the restoration of traffic along the Madogo–Bura–Hola (B89) Road after it had been cut off. The Authority said the reinstatement allowed normal traffic flow to resume and thanked road users for their patience during the disruption.

On November 2, KeNHA reported the closure of the Kapyego–Chesoi–Kilangata (B15) Road following heavy rainfall that caused extensive damage and fatalities in Elgeyo Marakwet County.

Affected areas included Kilangata, Murkutwo, Chesongoch, and Kabetwa, where floods rendered sections of the roadway impassable. A multi-agency team involving the Ministry of Interior, KeNHA, and the county government was deployed to the scene.

Additionally, the vented drift across River Mon at Chesetan along the Biretwo–Arror Road collapsed after being overwhelmed by floodwaters, cutting off the route by about 40 metres.

KeNHA is a State corporation established under the Kenya Roads Act, 2007, operating under the Ministry of Roads and Transport. It is responsible for the development, rehabilitation, and maintenance of national trunk roads—classified as S, A, and B roads—which link key cities, ports, border points, and strategic economic hubs across Kenya.

The Authority also oversees highway planning, design, and supervision, ensures road quality and safety, manages road assets, and enforces the protection of road reserves.

KeNHA works with government agencies, contractors, and development partners to deliver major infrastructure projects aligned with Kenya’s Vision 2030 goals.
