The Kenya National Highways Authority has announced a temporary traffic disruption at Haile Selassie Roundabout on Uhuru Highway (A8) from November 28, 2024, to January 17, 2025.
The Authority said this is due to scheduled road works for the construction of a pedestrian underpass at the section which will commence on Thursday.
“KeNHA advises motorists to follow the proposed traffic management plan, project road signs and cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on site,” the authority said.
Last week the Authority, announced a temporary traffic disruption at the Gitaru Interchange on the A8 (Waiyaki Way), where the Southern Bypass meets the Western Bypass.
The disruption began on November 19 and will continue until December 19, 2024, to allow for scheduled road construction.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) would like to inform the public of a temporary traffic disruption at Gitaru Interchange on A8 (Waiyaki Way) and Southern Bypass to Western Bypass,” KeNHA said.
In a statement on November 13, KeNHA explained the disruption citing planned construction on the Right-Hand Side (RHS) Carriageway connecting the Southern and Western Bypasses.
The Authority advised motorists to follow the posted traffic management plan, observe road signs, and cooperate with on-site police and traffic marshals.
KeNHA also provided an update on the Gitaru Interchange’s progress on November 12, stating that the interchange, once completed, will link the Southern Bypass, Western Bypass, and A8 Road.
This major project is expected to enhance road safety, improve travel times, and foster connectivity and growth in Nairobi and surrounding areas.
Still, the Authority announced a two-week closure of a section of the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway between the Makupa Bridge and the Changamwe Interchange to facilitate road and drainage construction.
