The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a three-day closure of a section of the Uhuru Highway.

In a statement on Thursday, October 19, KeNHA said the section of the busy highway between Haile Selassie Avenue and Bunyala roundabout will be closed to allow maintenance works.

“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify the Public of a temporary closure of Uhuru Highway from Haile Selassie to Bunyala roundabouts on Mombasa Bound lanes from Thursday October 19, 2023 to Saturday October 21, 2023 both days inclusive. This is to allow for the highway maintenance works along the section,” read the statement in part.

KeNHA advised motorists heading towards Mombasa Road to exit at Haile Selassie roundabout, and share the Nairobi Bound carriageway with the Nairobi Bound traffic, and then rejoin the Mombasa Bound carriageway at Bunyala roundabout.
