President William Ruto announced on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, that the KSh 3.58 billion flyover at the Ngong Road–Naivasha Road junction is set for completion by June 2026, nearly a year ahead of its original July 2027 schedule.
During an inspection of the site near Junction Mall, the President confirmed the project is 85–90% complete. Key details of the project include:
The project features a 255-metre viaduct (elevated roadway) designed to separate express commuters from ground-level traffic.
It is financed through a concessional loan from the Spanish Corporate International Fund (FIEM).The works are being executed by the Spanish firm Centurion under the supervision of the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA).
Beyond the four-lane flyover, the upgrade includes modern street lighting, improved drainage systems, and Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) facilities such as dedicated cycling lanes and pedestrian walkways.
Once operational, the flyover is expected to significantly reduce congestion at the busy intersection connecting Ngong Road, Naivasha Road, and Kingara Road, potentially cutting travel time to the CBD to just 25 minutes.
President Ruto also noted that this project is part of a broader plan to modernize 80 kilometres of roads within Nairobi to enhance urban mobility
