Nairobi’s main expressway will undergo temporary traffic adjustments this weekend as part of maintenance work. The Nairobi Expressway, a key route connecting the city’s western suburbs to the Central Business District, will see a diversion at the Westlands entrance. Motorists traveling from James Gichuru Junction toward the city center will need to follow an alternate route.
The change is scheduled to take effect on Saturday and Sunday, with authorities advising drivers to plan accordingly. No specific end time for the diversion was given, but officials emphasized that the work is necessary to improve road safety and infrastructure.
Local commuters have expressed concern over the disruption, particularly during peak hours. Some have suggested alternative routes, while others are calling for better communication about such changes.
The Nairobi Expressway remains a vital artery for daily travel, and the temporary closure highlights ongoing efforts to modernize the city’s transportation network.
