Why traffic will be disrupted around Cabannas for one week

Motorists using the Kyang’ombe Slip Road along Mombasa Road have been advised to use an alternative route to their destinations.

This is after Kenya National Highways Authority in a public notice announced the road will be temporarily closed from Thursday to Friday next week.

They said the closure will happen at the City Cabanas stage Nairobi bound.

“This is to allow for the construction of additional two lanes comprising of a deceleration lane into the Kyang’ombe Slip Road and a tailback storage lane for traffic destined for the Eastern Bypass,” Kenha said.

“Traffic headed to ICD is advised to proceed straight along Mombasa Road and exit at Laboratory and Allied into ICD road,” Kenha’s director general Kung’u Ndungu said.

Ndungu said normal traffic shall be restored upon completion of the construction works.

“Motorists are urged to exercise caution and road courtesy and cooperate with the police and traffic marshalls for better management of traffic as they approach the section,” he said.

Nairobi is undergoing a major transformation through various state projects.    BY THE STAR
