The Kenya National and Highways Authority has announced a temporary traffic disruption along Kipande Road near the National Museum of Kenya Headquarters.
The disruption will run for five days from December 27 to December 31, 2024, both days inclusive, to allow for maintenance work.
“This closure will enable installation of the cross culvert at Kipande Road so as to facilitate seamless connection in line with the Authority's mandate," the authority said in a public notice on X.
KeNHA said the closure of the section will have the Murang’a Road bound carriageway closed between Friday to Sunday.
During the period, traffic on the Murang’a Road carriageway will be diverted to one of the Parkland/ Ojijo bound lanes.
From Sunday to Tuesday, the Parklands/Ojijo Road bound carriageway will be closed. During the days, traffic will be diverted to Murang’a bound lanes.
All traffic will be diverted through the Embu-Nairobi Highway/Prof. Wangari Maathai Road, Kipande Road, Limuru Road, and Kolobot Road as an alternative route during this period.
The authority has also urged motorists to exercise caution around the work zones and to follow the proposed traffic management plan.
The announcement comes a few days after KeNHA announced the closure of a section of the Southern Bypass for the next two weeks.
The closure would affect the section on both sides of the road from the Ole Sereni Interchange to the Ngong Road Interchange.
The closure, according to KeNHA was to facilitate rehabilitation of the expansion joints of all the bridges along the closed section.
