The Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) on Wednesday hosted a group of students at the ongoing construction of the Haile Sellasie underpass for a knowledge-sharing session.
The purpose of the session was to enhance understanding of the latest advancements in underpass engineering in the city.
During the session, the industry experts and learners were given a platform where they would exchange insights with each other on this topic.
The session brought together representatives from the National Construction Authority (NCA), engineering students, and professionals from various engineering firms.
The participants also visited the ongoing construction of the Haile Selassie underpass, gaining valuable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of the project’s progress.
The ongoing construction of the Sh2 billion passenger underpass at Haile Selassie Avenue in Nairobi will feature shops and stalls to enhance passenger safety.
Roads Principal Secretary Joseph Mbugua last week told the Members of Parliament that the construction of the underpass will feature 24-hour shops manned by police to enhance security and deter criminals.
The authority on January 16 closed the road till February 20, 2025, to facilitate the construction of the pedestrian underpass.
The project aims to address congestion along Uhuru Highway and facilitate pedestrians' easy and smooth commuting throughout the city.
The underpass, being constructed by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), will enable hundreds of Nairobi commuters travelling to Upper Hill and nearby areas to cross safely without disrupting traffic flow.
Only after the government had set aside funds under the Road Maintenance Levy Funds (RMLF) was the authority able to proceed with this construction project.
Once the project is completed, the underpass will see pedestrians connect between Nairobi’s Central Business District and Green Park Terminus.
The underpass will also serve hundreds of Nairobi residents who commute to Upper Hill and other adjacent areas.
