The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) on Tuesday announced a temporary disruption of traffic along the Lang'ata road for two days.
In a statement, the authority warned that the disruption would be at the section between the Southern Bypass interchange and the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF)offices.
KURA stated that the contractor would close one of the lanes for two days, from Saturday, June 22, to Sunday, June 23 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
According to the urban roads agency, the disruption is to allow the contractor adequate time to undertake road construction works on the section of the road.
Traffic marshals and police will be deployed at the site to guide motorists and ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
Meanwhile, motorists planning to use the route were advised to drive with caution as they approached the closed section.
“We request the public to be patient as we strive towards transforming urban mobility,” read part of a statement by KURA.
The announcement comes barely two days after the Kenya National Highways Authority announced the closure of a section of Uhuru Highway for 10 days to allow for repair works.
KeNHA stated that the closure would affect the highway section between the University of Nairobi Roundabout and the Nairobi Expressway Exit or Museum Hill Exit along the Nakuru-bound carriageway.
In a statement, the authority noted that the road would be closed for ten days, from Friday, June 14, to Sunday, June 23.
Motorists were advised to use alternative routes including Nyerere Road, Arboretum Drive, Riverside Drive, and Ring Road Kileleshwa.
"Follow the traffic signs and guidance in place as directed by police and traffic marshals on site. The Authority remains committed to ensuring seamless connectivity to facilitate safe passage for economic prosperity," KeNHA noted.
