The Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), on Thursday, June 1, announced traffic disruption on Mombasa Road for five days owing to scheduled maintenance.
In a notice, the road agency indicated that traffic would be diverted between the Nyayo Stadium Roundabout and Nairobi Southern Bypass Interchange (Parkside Towers).
KeNHA noted that vehicles leaving the city must share lanes with vehicles bound for the Capital.
The road agency added that the works would take five days, with the closed lanes expected to be reopened on June 6 at 5 am.
"There will be a temporary traffic diversion between Nyayo Stadium Roundabout and Nairobi Southern Bypass Interchange (Parkside Towers), to allow for maintenance works on the carriageway.
"This will be carried out between 10 pm to 5 am from June 1 to June 6, 2023," read the statement in part.
Motorists were, therefore, advised to exercise caution to avoid creating unnecessary snarl-ups on the busy highway.
Consequently, the road agency indicated that it would designate officers at various sections of the road to help monitor the flow of traffic and guide motorists.
KeNHA added that it had also put up traffic signs to guide the movement of vehicles.
Motorists were assured that the repairs would be done within the stipulated time to avoid further delays.
However, KeNHA did not specifically detail the exact maintenance works set to be carried out on the road.
Those who are most likely to be affected are residents of Nairobi West, South C, and South B estates.
