The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has advised road users to avoid a section of Thika Superhighway for the next three days.
In a statement released to media houses on Tuesday, KeNHA said that the closure will take effect from Thursday to Saturday.
The move seeks to pave way for the construction of the footbridge at the Mangu road junction (Njomoko).
Drivers and other road users have been asked to find alternative routes to their work during this period.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) pursuant to Traffic Act Cap. 403 section 71, wishes to notify the general public that a section of Thika Superhighway at Mangu Road Junction (Njomoko) will be partially closed for motorists from Thursday, 19th December to Saturday 21st December 2019 from 11 pm to 4 am at night due to planned erection of the footbridge,” read the statement quoted by Nairobi News.
The authority has also asked road users to support the workers on the road to make the process smooth before they can resume using the current routes.
The motorists will have to put up with traffic snarl-ups during these three days before the completion of the project.
The footbridges are set to ensure a smooth and faster follow of traffic across the routes mentioned. The massive traffic on the roads has been causing congestion in recent years.
