NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 23 – Authorities have warned of plans to close Mbagathi Way for four days from December 27 to facilitate the construction of a modern footbridge.
Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) through a public notice said the closure is to enable contractors to demolish the Mbagathi Way footbridge to pave way for a modern one.
The closure of the road is expected to affect motorists using adjacent routes including the Mtongwe road and parts of Ngong road.
“Motorists are advised to use alternative routes as directed by traffic marshals. We apologize for the inconvenience that may be caused as we endeavor to provide efficient urban road network,” KURA said in a notice.
Traffic coming from Langata road through Mbagathi way will be diverted to Mtongwe road and proceed to Mbaruk road before joining Muchai drive then onto Ngong road at Coptic hospital.
Under the new arrangements, traffic from Ngong town via Ngong road will proceed up to city mortuary roundabout, exit at the roundabout to join Ngong road and head to Muchai Drive diversion.
Motorists using Valley road and those from Kenyatta National Hospital were advised to use the same navigation.
