The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has issued a notice to the public on the closure of a road in Nairobi.
KURA announced that a section of Mbagathi Way would be closed for four days to enable contractors to demolish the footbridge to pave way for the construction of a modern one.
The closure will begin on Friday, December 27, to Monday, December 30, from 6 am to 6 pm.
The closure of the road is expected to affect motorists using adjacent routes including the Mtongwe Road and parts of Ngong Road.
“Traffic coming from Lang’ata Road through Mbagathi Way to divert at Mbagathi, join Mtongwe Road and proceed to Mbaruk Road before joining Muchai Drive which joins Ngong Road at Coptic Hospital,” the notice read.
Those traveling to Ngong Town via Ngong Road have been urged to proceed up to City Mortuary Roundabout, exit at to join Ngong Road again, and then drive up to Muchai Drive diversion.
“Proceed through Mbaruk Road then Mtongwe Road up to Mbagathi Road which links with Mbagathi Way,” it warned.
Motorists using Valley Road and those from Kenyatta National Hospital are also advised to use the same navigations provided by the agency.
KURA called upon all drivers to stick to the routes provided to avoid inconveniencing both themselves and the workers at the scene.
“Motorists are requested to use alternative routes as directed by traffic marshals. We apologize for any inconvenience that may be caused as we endeavour to provide efficient urban network,” KURA concluded.
