The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has announced the closure of Nyeri Road in Nairobi for four days beginning tomorrow.
Through a statement, KURA notified the public that the road in the up-market estate of Kileleshwa will remain inaccessible from 6 am tomorrow until Sunday, April 3.
“We wish to alert the general public that there will be traffic disruption along Nyeri Road from 6.00 am on Thursday, March 31 to Sunday, April 3 at 6.00 pm,” read the statement.
According to the authority, the closure will pave way for the rehabilitation of the road and the installation of a culvert.
Motorists have been asked to remain patient and use alternative routes during the temporary closure.
“We apologise for any inconveniences that may be caused as we endeavour to enhance urban mobility,” stated the statement.
The notice comes at a time when several major road projects are ongoing within the city including the construction of the Nairobi Expressway.
Last month, KURA issued a road closure notice for the Eastern Bypass at the Kangundo Road junction overpass to allow room for the construction of a bridge.
KURA said the section of the road will be closed for two months from March 3 to May 3 2022.
“This is due to the ongoing expansion and dualing of the Eastern Bypass,” KURA said.
KURA stated that motorists heading to Embakasi will be diverted to the Slip Road below the overpass.
The road construction authority urged motorists and pedestrians to be careful when approaching the section and strictly follow diversions as guided by the traffic signs and the traffic marshals on site.
“We request the public to be patient as we work to improve road safety and enhance urban mobility,” KURA stated.
