The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has alerted motorists and other road users to a planned traffic disruption on a section of Mombasa Road scheduled for Sunday, December 1, 2024.

The temporary traffic disruption is to facilitate a 21-km half-marathon race in commemoration of World AIDS Day 2024.
“This is to allow for a 21-km half marathon in commemoration of World Aids Day, 2024,” the authority stated.
