  • Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), has alerted motorists and pedestrians plying sections of Lang’ata and Mbagathi roads to expect traffic disruptions for an unspecified period of time.

    The notice dated Wednesday, November 18, highlighted that the section of Lang’ata Road adjacent to T Mall roundabout area would be partially fenced to allow for the construction of the flyover and footbridge and a footbridge connecting to Mbagathi Way.

    Issues of traffic snarl-up along both sections of the roads had been raised by various motorists on social media which caught the attention of the authority.

    KeNHA noted that the project, which is meant to ease traffic congestion within the road, would be upgraded by means of a four-lane flyover as well as the expansion of adjacent roads.

    “We request motorists to exercise caution around the area and to comply with the Traffic Management Plan signalization and instructions given by the traffic marshals,” read part of the statement.

    The redesigning of the Lang’ata Road-Mbagathi Way connection is expected to reduce accidents on the busy road. 

    There has been a number of accidents along the road that saw many pedestrians and motorists lose their lives. An accident on Saturday, June 13 saw a couple and their child rushed to the hospital after their car collided with another oncoming vehicle.

    The three victims managed to tell the tale although they sustained grave injuries as a result. 

    Another incident saw an ambulance ram into a private vehicle on January 22. Fortunately, there were no casualties as the victims were rushed to a nearby hospital. 

    In another accident, a man lost his life while 20 others were injured when a matatu veered off and lost control around the same area. 

    The flyover construction comes hours after KeNHA also unveiled the completion of the multi-billion footbridge project along Thika Superhighway.

    The project, which had stalled for three years due to delays in importing steel from China, finally underwent its final touches to unveil the advanced unique designs such as overhead lighting and lights on the steps.

    This technique was employed to enhance security at night when pedestrians are using the footbridge. 

    Another mega project that began taking shape earlier this month is the Nairobi Westlands to JKIA expressway.
