The Kenya National Highways Authority has announced a temporary closure of a section of the Mombasa Road for five days to allow for the completion of ongoing works.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, KeNHA said that the section of the Mombasa Road near Shell Petrol station would experience traffic disruptions.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify the public that a section of Mombasa Road (A8) near Shell Petrol Station, next to Hilton Garden Inn will experience traffic disruption along the Mombasa bound lanes from Wednesday, August 7, 2024, to Sunday, August 11, 2024,” KeNHA said in a statement.
KeNHA noted that the temporary closure of the section of the road was to allow for the construction of a mid-span footbridge foundation at the median between the service lane and the adjacent Mombasa-bound lane.
The highway body further advised motorists using Mombasa Road to exercise caution while approaching the area of construction and cooperate with traffic marshals.
“KeNHA advises motorists to follow the proposed traffic management plan below and cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on site,” KeNHA advised.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify the public that a section of Thika Superhighway (A2) at Juja High Point will experience traffic disruption on the inner lane of Thika-bound traffic from Wednesday, July 10, 2024, to Monday, July 15, 2024. This is to allow for the construction of the mid-span footbridge foundation,” KeNHA announced.
KeNHA stated that the interruption was occasioned by the construction of another mid-span footbridge foundation along the busy road.
“KeNHA has urged motorists to adhere to the proposed traffic management plan and cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on-site to ensure smooth traffic flow and minimize inconvenience,” KeNHA added.
