The Government of Kenya has issued an advisory to Langata road users as contractors move to construct a fly-over at the jam-packed T-Mall junction- By Gerald Gekara
In the advisory, Kenya National Highways Authority said the multimillion shilling works will ease traffic once complete.
The four-lane highway will go over Lang’ata Road, Mbagathi and Mai Mahiu road. It will allow vehicles headed to Ongata Rongai and Magadi to pass over an elevated road to the Shell Petrol Station next to the Wilson Airport.
Vehicles headed to Mbagathi Road, South C, Wilson Airport will use the underpass in a move that will terminate traffic jams at the busy Langata Road.
The project scope will also factor in the construction of five footbridges at strategic locations along Langata Road, and Mbagathi Road to aid numerous pedestrians.
Other feeder roads along the project scope will also be upgraded and fitted with safety signs, lighting and other amenities.
The Project is conceptualized under the Public-Private Partnership between the Government of Kenya and the Government of the Kingdom of Spain.
Once complete, perrenial traffic jams associated with the busy roundabout are set to be a thing in the past.
