Motorists entering the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) through Haile Selassie and Uhuru highway roundabout are set to experience a two-week traffic disruption.
Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) said this is to facilitate some planned construction works at the site.
In a notice, the agency stated that the interruption will commence August 31 and end on September 15.
“Traffic disruption is due to scheduled road works for construction of a pedestrian underpass at the section,” it reads.
It has, however, provided entry and exit routes for the motorists.
KeNHA urged motorists to cooperate with the traffic officers who will be deployed to the site.
“KeNHA advises motorists to follow the proposed traffic management plan and cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on the site,” reads the notice.
Vehicles from Upper Hill towards Waiyaki Way for instance are set to use a diversion at Greenpark while those from Mombasa Road to Waiyaki Way will use a diversion at Greenpark.
Motorists from Waiyaki Way to Mombasa Road are set to use the diversion at Rubis Petrol Station as those from CBD to Mombasa Road use the diversion at Rubis Petrol Station or the Ring road behind Neno Evangelism Church.
Vehicles from CBD towards Upper Hill and from Upper Hill to CBD shall not be disrupted, KeNHA said.
